After inclusion of the putative ABC proteins into the evolutionary tree of the gene family, we classified A. aegypti ABC proteins into the established subfamilies (A to H), but the phylogenetic positioning of MutS, RAD50 and SMC proteins among ABC subfamilies-as well as the highly supported grouping of RAD50 and SMC-prompted us to name a new J subfamily of A. aegypti ABC proteins.
