The list of species representing the major hubs in the HGT network and their connectivity ranking in the three trees considered
Organism | Average ortholog similarity | Gene content | Genome conservation | STRING |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pirellula sp. | 2 | 1 | 1 | Absent |
| Bradyrhizobium japonicum | 3 | 3 | 2 | 4 |
| Erwinia carotovora | 5 | 2 | 4 | Absent |
| Clostridium acetobutylicum | 4 | 4 | 10 | 5 |
| Chromobacterium violaceum | 6 | 10 | 9 | Absent |
[i] (HGT vine width threshold is set to 10; see Methods). Inner nodes of the tree are ignored during the ranking. Absent signifies absence of the organism in the input data.
