Fig. 4

Schematic diagram presenting the BoCNGC gene structures and the conserved motifs in the encoded proteins. The neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree is provided on the left side of the figure, followed by the exons–introns, which are indicated as red boxes and black lines, respectively. Motifs are represented by numbers in coloured boxes on the right. Numbers [0, 1 and 2] provided on the gene structures represent the respective intron phases. The length of each exon and intron can be determined using the provided scale. The order of the motifs corresponds to the motif positions in the protein sequence. However, the length of the box does not correspond to the length of the motif
