Congruence Amidst Discordance between Sequence and Protein-Content Based Phylogenies of Fungi.

ABSTRACT: Amid the genomic data explosion, phylogenomic analysis has resolved the tree of life of different organisms, including fungi. Genome-wide clustering has also been conducted based on gene content data that can lighten the issue of the unequal evolutionary rate of genes. In this study, using different fungal species as models, we performed phylogenomic and protein-content (PC)-based clustering analysis. The obtained sequence tree reflects the phylogenetic trajectory of examined fungal species. However, 15 PC-based trees constructed from the Pfam matrices of the whole genomes, four protein families, and ten subcellular locations largely failed to resolve the speciation relationship of cross-phylum fungal species. However, lifestyle and taxonomic associations were more or less evident between
