   are a GML and PDF version of a graph showing the overlap of taxon coverage in the gene families. Vertices are genus names, and edges connect two vertices if the genera are both present in at least one gene family. Numbers on edges are the number of gene families where the two genera co-occur.

Files for individual gene families are also available. Gene codes are from the Hovergen database, but information on gene-species relationships are also shown in the GeneTree file.

Search for families:

are alignments in FASTA format

are alignments in NEXUS format

are phylogenies in New Hampshire format. We recommend TreeView to view these trees

Note that gene names in the FASTA files may differ slightly from those in the NEXUS files and the GeneTree file.

Those trees where only one treefile is available are for gene families where no outgroup was available, and are mid-point rooted
