Substitution of Sec with other amino acids in algal selenoproteins. Statistics on the substitution of Sec in members of the selenoprotein family in all algae and related evolutionary phyla based on 137 algal sequences and the NR database. The size and proportion of the pie chart in the figure schematically show the number of genes of various types in each evolutionary phylum. Different colors represent the type of amino acid at the position containing Sec, and the meaning of the color is shown in the legend on the right
