Reliability of plastid and mitochondrial localisation prediction declines rapidly with the evolutionary distance to the training set increasing

Success rate of predicting unique versus conserved organelle proteins.
Success rate (sensitivity) of predicting experimentally verified conserved and unique proteins for (a) plastids and (c) mitochondria. All proteins from each species were sorted into conserved or unique based on sequence-based protein clustering (see methods, S3 Fig). Of the total plastid and mitochondrial false negatives (from Fig 2A and 2B), the number of proteins that were unique to a given species are shown for plastids (b) and mitochondria (d).
