Protein family splits over ascending protein similarity thresholds for six protein families that are universal at T25: (a) Translation elongation factor G, (b) 50S ribosomal protein L1, (c) 50S ribosomal protein L5, (d) 50S ribosomal protein L11, (e) 30S ribosomal protein S11, (f) valyl-tRNA synthetase. The splits are shown as colored boxes within columns. Currently recognized taxonomic groups are indicated in rows for comparison. For example, 50S ribosomal protein L5 (c) is universal at T25, whereas in T30 the protein family splits into an archaebacteria-specific family (blue) and a eubacteria-specific family (light purple).
