Phylogenetic Profiling of Transporter Families
Phylogenetic profiles were created for each transporter family. Each profile is a string with 141 entries (number of organisms analyzed). If a given family is present in an organism, the value one is assigned at this position (red). If not, zero is assigned (black). Organisms and transporter families were clustered according to the similarity of their phylogenetic profiles.
