Cyanobacterial Contribution to Algal Nuclear Genomes Is Primarily Limited to Plastid Functions  Adrian Reyes-Prieto, Jeremiah D. Hackett, Marcelo B. Soares, Maria F.

2 Figure 1 The Distribution of Cyanophora Genes in the Cytoplasm Subcategory of the Cellular-Component Ontology Category The distribution of 1,226 annotated Cyanophora genes in GO categories is compared with an equivalent analysis of genome data from Arabidopsis thaliana, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, and Thalassiosira pseudonana. The comparable relative proportions of genes in each category in these photosynthetic eukaryotes suggest the absence of an obvious sampling bias in the Cyanophora EST data.

3 Figure 2 Summary of Phylogenomic and Similarity Approaches to Detect EGT in Cyanophora paradoxa Our strategy for identifying genes of cyanobacterial-EGT origin within 3,576 Cyanophora unigenes relies on a dual phylogenomic and similarity strategy to maximize accuracy. Detailed phylogenetic analysis of all candidate genes resulted in a final count of 132 cyanobacterial-derived genes (3.7% of the total number of sequences) in Cyanophora, with 81 (shared) of these identified through both methods, whereas 14 were found exclusively through phylogenomics (trees) and 37 were found exclusively through the BLAST search (hits).
