1. Motif detectability corresponds to the phylogenetic profile of the cognate transcription factor.
Motif detectability corresponds to the phylogenetic profile of the cognate transcription factor. (A) The phylogenetic tree for species in this study. Shown is the phylogenetic tree of the 23 Ascomycota species in this study (see Materials and methods). A–L: clades in which ancestral target sets are defined; clade names are denoted next to their letter in dark blue. (B) Motif detection and transcription factor presence across the species. Shown are 88 motifs (rows) across 23 species (columns) along with a phylogenetic tree (as in a, but not shown to scale). Yellow—motif is detectable and transcription factor is conserved; yellow–gray—the motif is detectable but the transcription factor is not conserved; blue—the motif is not detectable but the transcription factor is conserved, black—the motif is not detectable and the transcription factor is absent. The fraction of the motifs inferred to be detectable up to clades D, H, and L is marked on top of the respective clades. Red line denotes the most ancestral clade in the species tree where a motif is detectable. Motif names in red denote motifs that are further discussed in the text.
