Figure 1

Schematic species tree indicating relationships between bacteria, Drosophila, C. elegans and plant-parasitic nematodes in the family Heteroderidae. The locations of three possible horizontal gene-transfer events that would pass through our initial phylogenetic filter are indicated by dotted lines. Transfer 'a' occurs after divergence of the lineages leading to C. elegans and Heteroderidae, transfer 'b' after divergence of root-knot nematodes and cyst nematodes, and transfer 'c' to the lineage leading to a specific Meloidogyne species. Adapted from [59].
