Comparison of protein divergence between the python, chicken and lizard, and the evolutionary context of the python. Comparisons of the distribution (A), and linear relationship (B) of protein sequence similarity of the python-chicken versus python-lizard presumed orthologous protein pairs. Only 'high confidence annotated contigs', in which the lizard-snake and chicken-snake matches were to Ensembl orthologous genes, were used for comparisons. Evolutionary context for snakes in relation to major amniote lineages (C); images from Wikimedia Commons.
