Often, researchers construct a gene tree and then informally use "subtrees" (clades) to make inferences about sequences (without regard to duplications and speciations).
However, it seems that, because known natural groups could be reproduced by this approach only after omission of certain species on the basis of independent prior knowledge, this method hardly can be useful for delineating new, phylogenetically sound clades.
The bacterial side of this tree consists of three major clades: i) proteobacterial clade that, in addition to bona fide Proteobacteria, includes also A. aeolicus, M. tuberculosis, D. radiodurans, and Synechocystis sp, ii) Gram-positive clade that additionally includes T. maritima, and iii) an unexpected clade that unites spirochetes and chlamydia.
In the universal set of ribosomal proteins, only one, S14, showed clear signs of horizontal transfer [ 28 ] . The potential deep phylogenetic connections uncovered during this analysis call for detailed genome comparisons in search of potential shared derived characters, such as unique protein domain architectures, that could support the new clades.
The existence and locations of all of the other introns are variable, but some of them are characteristic of specific clades.
