Wolbachia gltA sequence alignment presented as by Ros et al. (8) using GenBank accession numbers (where available), supergroups (boldface), and host species as names and preserving the numbering (read vertically by column) used by Ros et al. (8). Only polymorphic sites are shown. Differences from the reference W. bancrofti Wolbachia sequence are in lowercase, with identities as dots. The new sequence from the Wolbachia endosymbiont of W. bancrofti was obtained from the Broad Institute (annotated as Wolbachia-Wuchereria bancrofti supercontig 410 with coordinates 337 to 936 on the plus strand). Sequences were aligned using the TCoffee server via www.tcoffee.org using default parameters for regular TCoffee (7).
