Phylogenetic partitions and sequence outliers in a protein family. A phylogenetic tree of the frataxin family [55] detailing the presence of distant sequence homologs within a phylogeny. The MSA and dendogram of the family were constructed as described in Materials and methods. Partitions of the phylogeny are shown as colored vertical bars. Each partition of the phylogeny corresponds to an interval of percent sequence identity. The percent sequence identity for the selected subclades is shown on the phylogeny. A series of colors is used to indicate distinct partitions from left to right.
