These protein sequences are shown here in the context of related (orthologous) sequences, such as PsbF. These network representations were built from sequence alignments. They show that FaRLiP sequences (red) are more similar to each other than to other related sequences. Similarly, distinct branches may be seen for orthologues in eukaryotes as distantly related as land plants and algae, divergent cyanobacterial lineages (the Syn-Pro clade). Overall, these data support optional FaRLiP genes representing distinct evolutionary lineages. Sequence similarity networks built with SplitsTree. Sequences available viaSTAR Methods. See alsoTables S8,S9, andS10.
