Extended Data Fig. 5: Examples of ancient viral-eukaryotic gene transfers occurring prior to the last eukaryotic common ancestor.

Phylogenetic analyses were conducted in IQ-Tree after recoding alignments with a 4-bin Dayhoff matrix. The number of sequences within collapsed clades are noted and more recent HGTs were removed for clarity but did not affect the tree topologies. Statistical support was assessed using SH-aLRT (n = 1,000) and substitution models were selected using ModelFinder and included GTR+F+ASC+R10 (a), GTR+F+R10 (b), GTR+F+R7 (c), GTR+F+R8 (d), and GTR+F+R8 (e).
