From: Phylogenetic and syntenic data support a single horizontal transference to a Trypanosoma ancestor of a prokaryotic proline racemase implicated in parasite evasion from host defences

Figure 3

Network genealogy of partial PRAC nucleotide sequences from T. cruzi isolates showing the clustering of sequences according to DTUs, and sequences from the hybrids TcV and TcV positioned within both TcII and TcIII clades. The network branching pattern indicated high homogeneity of PRAC genes from isolates of Tcbat, TcII and TcIII contrasting with the large heterogeneity in TcI and TcIV isolates. Each colour represents one DTU, and the size of the circles indicates the number of isolates in the network. Genbank accession numbers of TcPRAC genes are listed in Additional file 2, and the DTU-specific profiles of polymorphic sites is showed in Additional file 3.
