The schematic domain structure of Dicer proteins. (a) Comparison of the conserved domain structures of D. melanogaster Dicer-1 and Dicer-2, C. elegans DCR-1 and our predicted I. scapularis Dicer-1 protein. Names and IDs of the conserved domains are given as stored in the Pfam database. * = The Pfam search did not detect a signal for this domain in the sequence of the Dicer-1 protein of D. melanogaster. (b) Phylogenetic analysis of full-length Dicer proteins (Bos = B. taurus, Cele = C. elegans, Dmel = D. melanogaster, Iscap = I. scapularis, Tcas = T. castaneum).
