Evolutionary conserved N. vectensis TR-units. (A) A schematic phylogenetic tree showing the main branches in metazoan origin. Proteomes that are compared are indicated in blue. (B) N. vectensis shares 160 TR-units with human and 112 TR-units with mouse. Mouse and human share 343 TRs, among which 64 are shared by all three organisms. (C) Hydra magnipapillata TR-proteins were compared to N. vectensis. 83 TR-units are shared between these two organisms. N. vectensis and M. brevicollis share 74 TR-proteins. 41 proteins are shared among all three organisms. For the list of shared proteins, see Additional file 3.
