Core, shared, and unique protein-encoding gene families. Values indicate the total number of protein families (containing two or more proteins) and in parentheses the gene count contained within those families for (a) M. commoda RCC299 and M. pusilla CCMP1545. Unique singleton genes are not represented in this panel, and only one representative was kept for identical paralogs in CCMP1545 (30) and RCC299 (21). b Comparison of RCC299, CCMP1545, and transcriptome-based CCMP2099 protein sequences. Numbers in parentheses are genes for which no paralog was identified. c Comparison of Micromonas (combined CCMP1545, RCC299 and CCMP2099), Dolichomastix tenuilepis, Bathycoccus prasinos, and Ostreococcus (combined O. lucimarinus and O. sp. RCC809). Note that an individual gene family in outer lobes can be composed of two or more predicted proteins from one species
