Fig. 5: Acquisition of novel gene families (through inter-phyla gene transfers) and gene duplications along non-AOA Thaumarchaeota lineages.
From: Genomics of soil depth niche partitioning in the Thaumarchaeota family Gagatemarchaeaceae
The quantitative and qualitative predictions of inter-phyla gene transfers (A) and gene duplications (B) were estimated across the Thaumarchaeota phylum tree (Dataset 3) using a gene tree-species tree reconciliation approach as described in the Methods section “Predicting gene content changes across evolutionary history”. Scale numbers indicate the range of the predicted number of events for a given mechanism, and circle sizes are proportional to the number of events.
