Fig. 3From: Ubiquitin-specific proteases are differentially expressed throughout the Schistosoma mansoni life cyclePhylogenetic tree of S. mansoni USP Conservation of SmUSP2, SmUSP5, SmUSP7, SmUSP8, SmUSP9x, SmUSP10, SmUSP14, SmUSP15, SmUSP16, SmUSP20, SmUSP22, SmUSP24, SmUSP30, SmUSP36-42, SmUSP39, SmUSP46, SmUSP48 and SmUSP49-44. Multiple alignments were performed using Mega 5.0 with bootstrap analysis. Branches corresponding to partitions reproduced in less than 50 % of the bootstrap replicates are collapsed [57]. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) is shown next to the branches. The tree was drawn to scale, with branch lengths representing the evolutionary distances used to infer the phylogenetic treeBack to article page
