From: Categorizing 161 plant (streptophyte) mitochondrial group II introns into 29 families of related paralogues finds only limited links between intron mobility and intron-borne maturases

Group II intron superfamily cladogram and solitary group II introns. “Solitary” plant mitochondrial group II introns having no significant nucleotide similarities to other paralogues that could warrant inclusion in one of the core group II intron families F01–F25 (Fig. 4) are indicated in blue font. Independent phylogenetic analyses of intron-borne maturase protein sequences resulted in identification of “maturase-based” intron families mF26–m29 and superfamilies (SF) extending the core families (light blue branch lines, left panel). Symbols for maturase conservation and clade codes are as in Fig. 4
