Origin of hard clam IAPs and IAP evolution in different metazoan lineages. a Evolutionary origin of IAPs and organ-specific genes in hard clam. Phylostratigraphic analyses of IAPs (blue), hemolymph-specific (brown), hepatopancreas-specific (red), and gill-specific (turquoise) genes across 10 phylostrata. Only genes for which at least one significant BLAST hit (< e−10) was returned were included. b Expansion and contraction of IAP repertoire across 18 species from different metazoan lineages. Gene gain and loss events are mapped to the species tree, indicated by green and red numbers, respectively. Numbers in yellow boxes indicate the predicted ancestral IAP number of each node. The blue block indicates Bivalvia.
