Fig. 3. Timing of acquisitions and duplications from different phylogenetic origins during eukaryogenesis.

Fig. 3

Ridgeline plot showing the distribution of corrected stem or duplication lengths, depicted as the additive inverse of the log-transformed values. Consequently, longer branches have a smaller value and vice versa. For clarity, a peak of near-zero branch lengths is not shown (see Extended Data Fig. 6). Numbers indicate the number of acquisitions or duplications for which the branch lengths were included. Groups of stem and duplication lengths are ordered based on the median value. The tree illustrates how the stem and duplication lengths were calculated; the symbols and colour schemes are identical to Fig. 1a. The phylogenetic distances between the acquisition or duplication and LECA were normalised by dividing it by the median branch length between LECA and the eukaryotic terminal nodes. In case of duplications the shortest of the possible normalised paths was used. Pairwise comparisons that did not give a significant P value (Mann-Whitney U test) are shown.
