Phylogenetic profile of singleton insertions and deletions. The number of all (black) and 1aa (red) singleton insertions (yellow bars) and deletions (green bars) in universal orthologous proteins over 250 amino acids in length, are displayed on a schematic phylogeny of the 35 examined species. The insertion:deletion ratios of the singleton indels for each species on the tree are shown on the far right of the figure, within or beside the purple bars, which are drawn to scale as indicated by the scale bar at the top of the column. The dashed line shows the average insertion:deletion ratio for the full dataset, and the red, orange, blue and green lines show the insertion:deletion ratio of Metazoa, Fungi, Amoebozoa and Archaeplastida (Viridiplantae + Rhodophytae), respectively.
