Fig. 5From: Whole genome-wide analysis of DEP family members in sheep (Ovis aries) reveals their potential roles in regulating lactationThe DEP family undergoes more expansion in the early evolutionary stage. a Phylogenetic patterns of 20 sheep DEP genes were analyzed. The symbols “– – – –”, “ + – – –”, “ + + – –”, “ + + + –”, and “ + + + + ” represent different phylogenetic status. The numbers labeled below each symbol indicate the DEP gene numbers accordingly. b The ratios of sheep DEP genes to all sheep protein-coding genesBack to article page
