From: Recovery of Lutacidiplasmatales archaeal order genomes suggests convergent evolution in Thermoplasmatota

Fig. 2

This tree includes 120 Thermoplasmatota genomes from a variety of environments. The tree was inferred by maximum likelihood from 108 concatenated marker genes, aligned separately and analysed using the best-fitting model for each alignment. The tree was rooted with four Archaeoglobales genomes. Dots indicate branches with >95% UFBoot and SH-aLRT support. As previously published studies have recovered different phylogenies for Thermoplasmatota, species trees inferred using a variety of approaches were compared. This phylogeny was the most likely, based on approximately unbiased testing and this topology being reconstructed in six of the seven approaches applied here (see SI Phylogenomics). Protein novelty is defined as the percentage of encoded proteins that lack a close homologue in the arCOG database. Detailed genome information is given in Supplementary Data 1.
