Proteome-Based Phylogeny of Eukaryotes
Abbreviations for organisms are as follows: Ag, A. gambiae; At, A. thaliana; Ce, C. elegans; Cr, C. rheinhardtii; Ci, C. intestinales; Cp, C. parvum; Cm, C. morolae; Dd, D. discoideum; Dm, D. melanogaster; Eg, E. gracilis; Eh, E. histolytica; Fr, F. rubripes; Gl, G. lamblia; Hs, H. sapiens; Lm, L. major; Nc, N. crassa; Os, O. sativa; Pf, P. falciparum; Sc, S. cerevisiae; Sp, S. pombe; Tt, T. thermophila; Tc, T. cruzi; and Zm, Z. mays. 1 Darwin = 1/2000 of the divergence between S. cerevisiae and H. sapiens. Branch thickness is proportional to the size of each clade. The tree was constructed by full maximum likelihood with clusters of orthologs generated from whole proteomes from each of the organisms. A phylogeny program used for constructing a new amino acid replacement model (23) determined the individual nodes and branch lengths.
