Protein evolution in selected model organisms. a An alignment-based comparison of the protein sequences of 1263 single-copy orthologs indicate that the proteome of Tribolium is more conserved than that of the main invertebrate models Drosophila melanogaster (DMELA) or Caenorhabditis elegans (CELEG). Sequences of annelids are more conserved. Shown is Capitella teleta - see Raible et al. 2005 for Platynereis dumerilii. The tree was rooted using the Mus musculus (Mammalia) as outgroup. The distances are shown as substitutions per site. b An alignment-free comparison shows the same trend but with lower resolution. DMELA: Drosophila melanogaster; TCAST: Tribolium castaneum; CELEG: Caenorhabditis elegans; CTELE: Capitella telata; MMUSC: Mus musculus
