Phylogenetic tree of NHR genes in Caenorhabditid nematode species. Colors mark NHR genes in different species (blue: C. elegans, red: C. briggsae and light green: C. remanei). Tandemly along chromosomes and phylogenetically clustered genes are indicated by vertical bars. Chromosomes carrying NHR clusters are indicated by roman numerals. The sub-branch comprised of seven groups of NHR genes on chromosome V has been marked by a star (*). Scale bar represents 0.5 substitutions per site.
