Relationship of ankyrin repeat domain proteins between wMel, wAna, wSim and wMoj. All the predicted ankyrin repeat proteins with greater than 120 amino acids were aligned and clustered using ClustalW. Nine predicted ankyrin repeat domain proteins (A-I) were found to be conserved among at least wMel and one other of these Wolbachia species with nucleotide sequence identity > 95% across the entire length of the gene.
