From: Contrasting evolutionary patterns of spore coat proteins in two Bacillus species groups are linked to a difference in cellular structure

Figure 3

Distribution of orthologous hits of coat proteins in the two major Bacillus clades. Blue indicates ‘1’ (the presence of orthologous hits) and red indicates ‘0’ (the absence of detectable orthologous hits). Hierarchical clustering using average linkage and hamming distances was applied both by rows, which led to grouping of coat proteins into ‘conserved’ and ‘labile’ categories. Clustering by columns led to grouping of species that agrees with the species reference tree.
