Figure 1

Animal phylogeny adopted in this study. The numbers at branches indicated the number of RGC_CAMs which is the measure of branch length. L1 and L2 are internal branch lengths. L3 is the terminal branch length. Tc is the known divergence time for two closely related species (calibration time for L3). Te is the estimated time of the worms-insects-vertebrates divergence. Reversals are shown in red and parallel changes are shown in blue. Io indicates the insect internal "old" branch and In indicates the insect internal "new" branch (see text). Species abbreviations: Homo sapiens (Hs), Caenorhabditis elegans(Ce), Drosophila melanogaster (Dm), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sc), Schizosaccharomyces pombe (Sp), Arabidopsis thaliana (At), Anopheles gambiae (Ag), Plasmodium falciparum (Pf), Caenorhabditis briggsae (Cb), and Mus musculus (Mm), Brugia malayi (Bm), Aedes aegypti (Aa), Ciona intestinalis (Ci), Apis mellifera (Am), Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn), Dictyostelium discoideum (Dd), Nematostella vectensis (Nv), Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (St), and Trichoplax adhaerens (Ta)
