BLAST-based mapping of the genes in the TM7a assembly by using IMG/M shows that the majority of TM7a genes are unlike those of any previously sequenced organism

D, domain (A, Archaea; B, Bacteria; E, Eukarya; V, Virus); No. of Genomes, number of genomes available for comparison in each phylum; No. of hits 30%, number of TM7a genes with at least 30% sequence identity to a member of the indicated phylum; Histogram 30%, histogram representing the relative proportion of TM7a genes with at least 30% identity to genes in each phylum; No. of hits 60% and Histogram 60%, the same analysis but based on genes with at least 60% sequence identity.
