Bayesian tree of the vertebrate IFITM1, 2 and 3-like gene family. A Bayesian tree was constructed using MrBayes (v3.2.2) with 1 million generations. Branch confidence values are shown at the nodes and coloured using the probability scale on the left. Scale bar corresponds to 0.3 substitutions per site. IFITM123 represent the mammalian IFITM1, 2 and 3-like genes and for simplicity are shown as a triangle. Details of the mammalian tree are shown in Additional file 7: Figure S5D. All the other IFITM genes are derived from avian, non-avian reptiles and amphibians. The species abbreviations are shown on Additional file 3: Table S2. The dotted circle indicates uncertainty in the split near the root of the tree
