Figure 4. A survey of public data and phylogeny for chondrichthyan orders.

Figure 4.

A. The 14 orders of chondrichthyan fish and their relative distribution in public nucleotide and protein databases for Chondrichthyes and Elasmobranchii are shown individually. The species distribution for each Order and GenBank are similar indicating sequence data has been collected for a broad range of chondrichthyans. For Chondrichthyes, the elephant shark genome project data contributes the majority of the data in NCBI Gene, GenBank, Genome Survey Sequence (GSS), and the Short Reach Archive (SRA) databases. The NCBI GSS, GSS libraries, and Protein Data Bank (PDB) are the least diverse with representation of 1–6 of the 14 Orders. The color of each Order as represented in the bar chart is included in the cladogram key with left to right in the bar chart corresponding with top to bottom in the cladogram. B. A cladogram of Chondrichthyes illustrates the phylogeny relationship between the 14 Orders. The color code associated with each Order appears consecutively in the bar chart.
