Phylogenetic analysis of the LOC569044 protein and the ZBED proteins found in mammals, amphibians, and bony fish. The full amino acid sequences of ZBED proteins from the known species are human (H. sapiens), mouse (M. musculus), zebrafish (D. rerio), frog (X. tropicalis), goldfish (C. auratus), and stone loach (T. tibetana), which were used to characterize the LOC569044 protein. ZBED proteins from known species were categorized into three main monophyletic clades labeled in different colors (transcript ID in Table 2). The LOC569044 protein marked by a black box was categorized in the same monophyletic group, along with the ZBED of bony fish (in green). The scale bar represents the number of substitutions per site. The blue and red colors indicate the same monophyletic group in the mammals and amphibians in, respectively.
