Figures & data
Figure 1. Phylogenetic analysis. We conducted a comparison of the 11 mitochondrial DNA genes except for ND4L gene of Acoela, Gnathostomulida, Platyhelminthes, and Rotifera. The 11 mitochondrial DNA genes were aligned by ClustalW. Maximum likelihood (ML) analysis was performed by Raxml 8.2.8 (http://sco.h-its.org/exelixis/software.html) with GTR + Gamma + I nucleotide substitution model. The rapid bootstrap analysis was conducted with 10,000 replications with 48 threads running in parallel. The complete mitochondrial genomes were shown in parallel with a phylogenetic tree. The line on the mitochondrial genome indicates a translocation of tRNAs. The Platyhelminthes served as outgroup.
