Figure 5.

Phylogenetic relationships and genetic distances (nucleotide and amino acid) between human, rabbit and mouse for four key innate immune system genes: CD4, ABCB11, IL2 and MYO1E. Maximum likelihood (ML) method and the GTR model of nucleotide substitution were used to obtain each gene phylogenetic tree. Accession numbers of the used sequences are shown under the species symbol in the trees. The genetic distances are shown in the tables. These were obtained using the options p-distance and pairwise deletion.
