Estimation of the Nematostella-Edwardsiella divergence. A portion of a Bayesian phylogenetic tree, based on seven concatenated protein-coding genes and three ribosomal DNAs [37, 48], used to date the divergence between Nematostella and Edwardsiella. The complete analysis comprises 87 taxa (see Methods), but the tree has been pruned so that only the anthozoan clade (corals and sea anemones) is shown. The thick gray bars at each internal node represent the 95% confidence interval for the given divergence time.
