Fig 3. Genomic indications of enhanced DNA repair mechanisms in the Yap hadal snailfish (YHS).

Fig 3

(A) Gene ontology enrichment of the positively selected genes from YHS (level 4). CC, cellular component, MF, molecular function, BP, biological process. (B, C) Partial alignment of the (B) RAD52 and (C) RAD9A amino acid sequences from various representative teleosts and human. Amino acids unique to two hadal snailfishes (YHS and Mariana hadal snailfish) are highlighted in red; positions within each sequence are given above. (D) A maximum-likelihood tree showing RAD51 and RAD51 paralog genes (RAD51b, RAD51c, XRCC2, XRCC3, and DMC1). The leaf-node colors correspond to the species given in panels (B) and (C).
