Phylogenetic Tree of TRGV Gene Ig-like Domains. TRGV gene Ig-like domains were aligned using MUSCLE and a phylogenetic tree calculated using maximum likelihood with a neighbour joining tree as the start point. Bootstrap values were calculated using 1000 replicates. The tree shows TRGV families clustering together in branches, which are well supported by the bootstrap values (bootstrap values > 70 are displayed). The TRGV2 genes also cluster by their position in the repeating motif, consistent with evolution by tandem duplication. Tree scale is indicated on the bottom left of the figure and shows the branch length which represents 5% of the variation
