Diagram showing the proximity in gene content of five members of the family Mimiviridae

Description:

Description: English: Venn diagram indicating the global proximity in gene content of CeV, its two closest relatives, PgV and AaV, and one member of each genus of the family Mimiviridae (Cafeteriavirus genus, CroV; Mimivirus genus, Mimi). The numbers in parentheses correspond to the raw number of encoded proteins without a homolog in the four other viruses. The numbers without parentheses indicate how many distinct clusters they constitute. The analysis was driven using OrthoMCL software, with a 10−5 E-value threshold and 1.5-mcl inflation parameter.
