On the Tempo of Genome Size Evolution in Angiosperms
Table 1
Gene regions specified in the mega-phylogeny construction of Monocotyledonae (monocots) and Fabaceae (legumes). The median absolute deviation (MAD) was used to assess sequence saturation and to parse sequences into separate files based on NCBI taxonomy and brought together again using NCBI-based guide tree and profile-to-profile alignment methodology (see Methods and Materials).
MAD scores in bold italics indicate the gene region was saturated across the most inclusive taxonomic-level and broken up into profiles of various taxonomic levels. N indicates the number of sequences in GenBank returned according to our input search list; however, due to synonymy and errors in GenBank the final tree was pruned to exactly match our genome size data set.
