Evolution of core hymenopteran proteins. Branch lengths of proteins from Trichogramma to the chalcid ancestor, relative to the branch length from the chalcid ancestor to the hymenopteran ancestor highlighting (a) proteins with the longest branch leading to Trichogramma (TPRE) as compared to other chalcids (1st place) and (b) 1st place proteins with the 100 longest branch lengths after normalization. In each panel, blue dots represent proteins that are contributing to the overrepresentation of GO terms within either the 1st place (a) or longest 100 of the 1st place sets of proteins (b). The differences in within-genome rankings of the chalcids compared to ranks of proteins based on their base distance (from the chalcid ancestor to the hymenopteran ancestor) (c), Trichogramma within-genome rankings compared to the base rank (d), and Trichogramma within-genome rankings compared to the median within-genome ranking of the other three chalcids (e). In c, d, and e, higher values on the x-axis indicate a longer branch length relative to other proteins. Positive values on the y-axis indicate an increase in rank for the clade in question, indicating a relatively longer branch length. Red dots indicate the top 10% of proteins, per bin, with the largest positive discrepancy in within-genome rank. Blue dots indicate the bottom 10% of proteins, per bin, with the largest negative discrepancy in within-genome rank. f The overlaps of the “fast” proteins (red dots) in panels c, d, and e
