From: RNAseq versus genome-predicted transcriptomes: a large population of novel transcripts identified in an Illumina-454 Hydratranscriptome

Figure 1

Phylogenetic position of Hydra . A) The phylogenetic tree of opisthokonts was drawn according to [12, 13]. Together with ctenophores, cnidarians form the Coelenterate superphylum. Coelenterates together with bilaterians constitute Eumetazoa, whereas porifers (sponges) occupy a sister group position within Metazoa. Dates are expressed in million years (my) according to [14]. LCA: Last Common Ancestor. B) Anatomy of the adult Hydra polyp. Scale bar: 400 μm. C) Phylogenetic tree of the various Hydra species drawn according to [15, 16]. Genome-predicted transcriptomes are available from H. magnipapillata (Hm) [3], a RNAseq-454 transcriptome was produced from H. vulgaris AEP (AEP) [11] and this study presents a RNAseq Illumina-454 transcriptome from H. vulgaris Basel (Hv).
