From: Formation of chimeric genes with essential functions at the origin of eukaryotes
Putative phylogeny of eukaryotes, based on Derelle et al. [82], that shows the distribution of 573 S-gene families. Family evolution reconstruction was performed using Dollo parsimony. The four boxes correspond to the number of families involved in metabolism (red), information storage and processing (blue), cellular processes and signaling (green), and poorly characterized processes (white)
