In the full dynamic version of this table in the supplemental files, the AroPath acronyms in this column are hyperlinked to the dynamic table, facilitating access to all available gene detail.
The numbers in parentheses indicate the number of xenolog sequences in the cohesion group, all of which are included in the full dynamic version of Table 3 in the supplemental files.
In the three examples of piggyback LGT shown, the most recent donor lineage is indicated in the “Near-donor lineage” column, with the donor itself having been obtained via an earlier LGT event in which the donor is referred to as the “Ancient-donor lineage.”
Operonic LGT transfers include the fused C-terminal domains (hdh or lysA) attached to ask, as well as thrB and thrC in some cases.
