Cnidarian Vitellogenin gene tree. ML topology of all known homologs of the Vitellogenin gene superfamily and apolipophorin-like putative Vitellogenin precursor in cnidarian taxa from NCBI Genbank and transcriptome components of A. alata in this study. Assumes the LG + G model of amino acid evolution, as specified as most appropriate by ProtTest v. 3.2. Shimodaira-Hasegawa-like branch support indices are shown at each node. Grey (top) highlights a clade of apolipophorin-like putative Vitellogenin precursor homologs for cubozoan Carukia barnesi and A. alata from this study and hydrozoan Hydra vulgaris, while the non-highlighted clade (bottom) highlights the relationships among known Vitellogenins of cnidarian taxa. Stars designate transcripts most upregulated in the ovaries (comp74784, comp75374 & comp77096); all others are either most highly expressed in the tentacle (comp35113 & 51914) or equally high in the gastric cirri and tentacle samples (comp57678 & comp75135)
