Gene content dendrogram. A dendrogram constructed by hierarchical clustering based on dissimilarities in gene content (binary data for presence or absence of protein families) for the 28 Staphylococcus strains and Macrococcus caseolyticus JCSCS5402. The dissimilarities were measured using the Jaccard distance, ranging from 0 to 1, represented by the horizontal bar at the base of the figure.
