ML analysis on a partitioned dataset, according to the number of residues variability among microsporidian sequences. First partition groups 1 and 2 different residues, the second one contains columns with three different residues, the third one contains columns with four residues and the fourth group contains those columns with five or more different residues per column. The table below shows the results of the eight statistical tests implemented in CONSEL when comparing the support of each of the alternative topologies. Rows indicate the different alternative topologies considered (see Additional file 1, Figure S1): A: basal to all fungi, C: grouped with Chytrids, Z: grouped with Zygomycotina, B: grouped with Basidiomycotina, T: grouped with Taphrinomycotina, S: grouped with Saccharomycotina, P: grouped with Pezizomycotina, S+P: placed at the common ancestor of Saccharomycotina and Pezizomycotina, T+S+P: placed at the base of ascomycota, B+T+S+P: placed at the base of dikarya, B+T+S+P+Z: placed after Chytrids, A-C+Z: basal to fungi but Chytrids and Zygomycotina grouped. The columns represent the different statistical tests used: (1) Approximately Unbiased (AU) test, (2) Bootstrap probability (NP) test, (3) same as NP test, but calculated directly from the replicates (BP), (4) Bayesian posterior probability test calculated by the BIC approximation (PP), (5) the Kishino-Hasegawa (KH) test, (6) the Shimodaira-Hasegawa (SH) test, (7) the Weighted Kishino-Hasegawa (WKH) test, (8) the Weighted Shimodaira-Hasegawa (WSH) test. Dark grey represent the topology with the best likelihood, while light grey represent topologies that could not be discarded (P-value > = 0.05) by the specific test.
