Runt domain sequences across phylogeny
HGT of arsC from an ancestral low GC Gram-positive bacterium to an ancestral cyanobacterium seems likely, and a similar HGT event from ancestral Actinobacteria to the Streptococci would explain the unexpected phylogeny of the Streptococcus arsC sequences.
This is a both an advantage and a disadvantage over analyses that rely on phylogeny.
Specifically, for each protein phylogeny, the length of the longest branch was compared to the sum of the two shorter branches (Figure 1).
The most straightforward version of this type of analysis, to which we hereinafter refer to as 'genome-tree' building, involves scaling-up the traditional tree-building approach and analyzing the phylogenetic trees for multiple gene families (in principle, all families represented in many genomes), in an attempt to derive a consensus, 'organismal' phylogeny [ 3 4 5 ] . However, because of the wide spread of horizontal gene transfer and lineage-specific gene loss, at least in the prokaryotic world, comparison of trees for different families and consensus derivation may become highly problematic [ 6 7 ] . Probably due to all these problems, a pessimistic conclusion has been reached that prokaryotic phylogeny might not be reconstructable from protein sequences, at least with current phylogenetic methods [ 4 ] .
