Analysis of the dicer ortholog in Microsporidia sp. MB. a A rooted phylogenetic tree of argonaute orthologs based on 20 microsporidian species. The maximum likelihood tree was constructed using IQTREE. The scale for the branch length is shown at the bottom and bootstrap support values shown on each node as a percentage (1000 bootstraps). b A schematic representation of the position of conserved domains in the multiple sequence alignment is shown. An insert was observed between the RIBOc and Rnc domains in 4 of the species including Microsporidia sp. MB, E. breve, P. epiphaga, and P. philotis
