Impact of gene sampling on the phylogenetic position of Cryptista on the tree of eukaryotes. The diagram shows the phylogenetic position of Cryptista within each ML tree inferred using randomly generated subsets of 250 marker genes from the Burki et al. [14] dataset (four gene bins were used; for each iteration, three bins had 46 genes and one bin had 47 genes). Only marker genes for which a homolog was present in Goniomonas avonlea and at least one additional Cryptista were included. The distribution shown is based on a total of 100 randomly generated marker gene subset trees
