Fig. 4: Possible timeline of TC evolution in octocorals.
A: Schematic time-scaled phylogenomic tree for anthozoans recreated from ref. 35. Octocorals split into two major clades approximately 580 million years ago (color mark). B: List of genera from both clades with representative species shown to harbor TC genes in this work. Red genera denote those for which TCs have been biochemically characterized.
