Table 2 Representative proteins used to compute Figure 2. Class is the COG functional code [18]. Rank is rank in a list of most conserved proteins (families of orthologs), from 0 to 199, for the set of genomes under study; thus FtsH (rank 2) is more conserved than DNA polymerase I (rank 59). Coeff, S. Dev, and Max are respectively the correlation coefficient, the standard deviation, and the maximum elementwise difference between the scaled distance matrix given by this protein and the consensus distance matrix. Distances for this set of organisms were approximately 0–150. Each sequence was limited to the most conserved 300-long amino acid sequence for the protein.
