Phylogram of agt1 based on a Bayesian inference of full dataset containing cloned sequences. Phylogram from the Bayesian inference of the agt1 data set with relative substitution rates using the GTR+G+I model and posterior probabilities plotted above the branches. Clades are colored according to Figure 3. The applied data set comprises part I and part II of the nuclear gene including all cloned sequences.
