Fig. 6: Magnoliids-associated signals and a representative example of phylogenetically informative microsynteny.
From: Whole-genome microsynteny-based phylogeny of angiosperms
a Hierarchical clustering (method: ward.D) of 15,424 magnoliids-associate cluster profiles based on Jaccard distance. On the far-left, the synteny-based species tree is displayed (same as Fig. 4). Superrosids, superasterids, early diverging eudicots, monocots, and magnoliids are shaded in light-red, light-purple, light-grey, light-green, and light-yellow, respectively. 1107 clusters supporting a grouping of magnoliids and monocots (Supplementary Data 5). b One example from all supporting signals. A fifteen-gene context in the genome of Cinnamomum kanehirae (a magnoliid) shows eight neighboring genes (highlighted in orange) only present in magnoliids and monocot genomes, while the flanking genes (colored blue) are generally conserved angiosperm-wide.
