Abstract
⺠We retrieved pannexins and connexins from several complete genome projects. ⺠We searched for conserved positions in pannexin and connexin independent alignments. ⺠We mapped evolutionary conservation onto the 3D structure of a connexon. ⺠Non-chordate pannexins are sister group of Ciona and vertebrate pannexin paralogs. ⺠The phylogeny of chordate connexins reveals five subfamilies with many paralogs.
