FIGURE 10.

Candidate horizontally transferred genes (HGTs) in Cardinium strains from P. penetrans (cPpe), whitefly (cBtQ1), and Encarsia wasps (cEper1) based on absence of blast similarity to proteins from outgroup genomes and presence of high blast similarity to other organisms. This list emerged from a filtered subset of blastx hits comprising the outliers in hit length and similarity shown in Supplementary Figure 3 and Supplementary Table 10, and thus is a fairly conservative subset of candidate HTGs. Source taxa for these genes are shown to the left and place of entry into the Cardinium lineage is shown at the bottom.
