Comparative genomics of Asgardarchaeota MGEs. (A) Whole-proteome similarity network of MGEs from Atabeyarchaeia and other Asgardarchaeota (Medvedeva et al. 2022; Rambo et al. 2022; Wu et al. 2022). Nodes represent individual MGEs, with edge thickness indicating similarity strength. Yucahu, Opia virus, Zemi, and Guacar form a distinct cluster, separate from other Asgard MGEs. Analysis based on NCBI database entries. (B) Genome size distribution of reported Asgard viruses/MGEs, including those from this study.
