Fig. 1From: Evolution of mitosome metabolism and invasion-related proteins in Cryptosporidium Genomic features and phylogenetic relationship of Cryptosporidium spp. a Phylogenetic relationship between Cryptosporidium spp. and other common apicomplexan parasites based on neighbor-joining analysis of sequences of 100 shared proteins. A concatenated sequences from the free-living photosynthetic chromerid, Chromera velia, was used to root the tree. b Comparison of major invasion-related protein families among Cryptosporidium species. The number of each protein family was identified based on Pfam domain search only, which may differs from the result of ortholog comparisons. Abbreviation of Cryptosporidium spp.: Cpar: Cryptosporidium parvum; Chom: C. hominis; Cubi: C. ubiquitum; Cand: C. andersoni Back to article page
