In particular, the seven MaSC samples formed a distinct branch within the basal cluster.
Our phylogenetic analysis of the entire Argonaute/PIWI protein positions mAgo5 as a particularly long branch within the AGO2 cluster, close to the confirmed mouse AGO2 protein (Fig. 2).
It is further notable that, in this tree, the two representative of Crenarchaeota (A. pernix and S. solfataricus) do not comprise a sister group of the Euryarchaeota (the remaining archaeal species), but rather for am branch within the Euryarchaeal cluster (see discussion below).
The isolates YK41, AR39, GiD and J138 are contained in another cluster together with CM1, which is located in a sister branch within this cluster.
OTU3, OTU10 and OTU17 formed a distinct branch within this cluster (Fig. 4A), and they were closely related to cultured methanogenic species that also have an insertion in their McrA protein sequence (Supplementary Fig. S2).
These results were partially in congruence with phylogenetic analysis i.e. P. aeruginosa strains making a tight cluster unlike stutzeri strains which showed distinct branching patterns within the cluster.
C. sakazakii strain ATCC 29544T (species type strain) formed a separate branch within the C. sakazakii cluster.
a_B cells and a_NK cells closely associated with their quiescent counterparts, each of this two lineages constituting a distinct branch within the lymphoid cell cluster irrespective of the activation status of the cells.
The location of the S. peroris type strain on a long branch within the S. infantis cluster is consistent with the close relationship between these species in the tree based on four loci described by Hoshino et al [ 16], and with % DNA-DNA hybridization values as high as 62% between some strains of S. infantis and S. peroris [ 30].
While SymKatG1 and 2 form separate branches within the dinoflagellate cluster, the phylogenetic distance relative to other dinoflagellates is especially high for SymKatG1.
