Fig. 2

Partial alignment of the 18S rDNA gene showing the variably expressed deletion present at and extending beyond the 3' end of the V3 hypervariable region in bdelloids and two species in the monogonont genus Lindia. The locations of the entire V3 region as well as the pseudoknot following it are indicated at the top of the alignment. The taxonomic groups are numbered as (1) Calicophoron calicophorum (Platyhelminthes, outgroup), (2) Bdelloidea, (3) Seisonacea, and (4) Monogononta (selected species)
