Microsynteny networks of FIB genes of the three major Eukaryotic taxa.
a) Microsynteny networks of FIB genes in Fungi. Nine microsynteny communities from three different phyla (Mucoromycota, Basidiomycota, and Ascomycota). b) Microsynteny networks of FIB genes in plants formed six synteny clusters: a synteny supercluster for all angiosperms (purple nodes), and five small synteny clusters for specific clade such as Rosids (green nodes), Fabaceae (blue nodes), PACMAD (orange nodes), Oryza-specific cluster (red nodes), and a small Fabaceae group (pink nodes) that poorly linked to the Angiosperm supercluster (one link). c) Microsynteny networks of FIB genes in animals. Three major clusters include a specific Fish-Reptilia syntenic cluster (pink and blue nodes), and two mammalian-specific syntenic clusters (green and yellow nodes). Nodes represent FIB genes, and edges represent synteny relationships between them. Nodes sizes are proportional to the number of synteny connections they share. All depicted microsynteny networks were clustered by Clique percolation method (k-clique = 3) to find densely connected communities.
