Here, we compare the topologies produced with five, largely independent approaches to genome-tree building: i) presence-absence of genomes in Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins (COGs); ii) conservation of local gene order (pairs of adjacent genes) among prokaryotic genomes; iii) distribution of percent identity between apparent orthologs; iv) sequence conservation in concatenated alignments of ribosomal proteins; v) comparative analysis of multiple trees reconstructed for representative protein families.
The information on orthologous genes in prokaryotic genomes and the yeast genome was derived from the COGs as in the previous approach, and the orthology data were similarly represented as a 0/1 matrix of presence-absence of the analyzed genomes in the COGs.
It could be argued that, in cases like those in Figure 5, where there is a sharp separation (a long, strongly supported internal branch in each of the trees) between the fusion components and stand-alone proteins, the COGs involved needed to be reorganized, to form one COG consisting of fusion proteins only and two separate COGs consisting of stand-alone proteins.
A search of the COGs database revealed 405 pairs of fusion-linked COGs.
Pylogenetic trees are avaliabel as PDF files for the following individual COGs:
