Figure 2

Dendrogram of concatenated DNA polymerase and terminase protein sequences from 34 herpesviruses. Dendrogram illustrating the evolutionary relationship of abalone and amphioxus herpesviruses to 32 other herpesviruses based on the concatenated full length protein sequences of DNA polymerase and the ATPase subunit of the putative terminase for each virus. The tree was inferred with MEGA4[32] using the Minimum Evolution (ME) method and a model based on the number of amino acid differences detected after an alignment using ClustalW[19]. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (2000 replicates) are shown next to the branches. The scale bar for the branch lengths = 100 amino acid sequence differences.
