Auxiliary activity distribution and density across the ascomycete tree of life. Genes predicted for ascomycete genome assemblies were annotated for CAZymes to explore patterns in the distribution and density of auxiliary activities (n = 2,570) within the ascomycete phylogenetic tree. Branch colors indicate the mean proportion of auxiliary activities within only the CAZyme annotations accounted for by all descendant taxa. Numerical clade annotations represent the number of sequenced genomes available. Key taxa, including lineages above the 95th percentile for AA proportion, have been highlighted. Genera and families with less than three and eight species-level representatives, respectively, have been pruned for clarity (n = 462 taxa). Nodes of taxonomic ranks below genus have been pruned (n = 93).
