Phylogenetic tree derived from a maximum-likelihood analysis of TRA-2 RRM domain protein sequences. The phylogeny suggests that the duplication of AAEL004293 probably occurred in a common ancestor of mosquitoes after the split of this ancestor from other diptera. The sequences of RRM domains were sourced from Ae. aegypti (Aeg); Ae. albopictus (Alb); Ae. polynesiensis (Poly); Cx. quinquesfaciatus (Culex); An. gambiae (Gambiae); Drosophila melanogaster and Musca domestica. AAAEL009222/AGW27097, AAAEL006416 and AAAEL009224 are the three other Ae. aegyptitra-2 homologs. The protein IDs for the RRM domains are shown on the branches of the phylogenetic tree. Bootstrap values are indicated in each node. The scale bar shows the branch length, representing the number of substitutions per site. Protein sequences in the phylogenetic tree can be found in the VectorBase and NCBI database with the following IDs: [VectorBase: AAAEL009222/AGW27097, AAAEL006416, AAAEL009224 CPIJ016646, AGAP006798], [GenBan: KJ147314, KJ147315, KJ147316, KJ147317, KJ147318, KJ147319, KJ147320, KJ147321, NP476766.1 and XP005185276.1]
