Fig. 5From: Whole genome level analysis of the DEATH protein superfamily in sheep (Ovis aries) and their coordination relationship in regulating lactationThe DEATH superfamily underwent more expansion at the late evolutionary stage. a The family phylogenetic patterns of the DD, CARD, DED, and PYRIN genes were analysed. The symbols “****”, “#***”, “##**”, “###*”, and “####” represent different phylogenetic patterns. The numbers labelled below the symbols separately represent the percentages of the DD, CARD, DED, and PYRIN genes. b The ratios of four subfamily genes and all sheep protein-coding genes in different phylogenetic patternsBack to article page
