Novelty estimation. The tree shows the result of the phylogenetic placement of 113 ASVs into 1233 branches of a reference tree with 618 taxa. The reference taxon sampling spans all extant eukaryotic diversity as described in Adl et al. 2019. The diameter of the circles indicates the number of ASVs placed in each branch. The same ASV can be placed on multiple branches until its accumulated likelihood weight ratio reaches a value close to 1. Taxonomic groups with high number of placements in interior nodes indicate potential novel undescribed molecular diversity.
