Figure 2. Phylogenetic analysis of "myocilin related" proteins

Phylogram of human noelins and myocilin is shown. Since the level of homology between these proteins is significant, a phylogenetic analysis has been done to assess their evolutionary relationship, using the entire protein sequence. The scale denotes the branch length corresponding to substitutions per site. Trichotomy means that the tree is divided into three branches and the number 619 denotes the bootstrap value [41].
