Technically, these trees should have been drawn unrooted, as one of the trees is in the linked paper on Google Knol. We drew them in the papers as rooted in part because some people I sent the paper to said that most people have trouble interpreting unrooted trees. <br /><br />So it is possible with some of the rootings that some of our unknown groups could represent VERY divergence members of the bacteria, for example. I think this is unlikely b/c the unknown groups seem to be quite distant from bacteria. We are working on new analyses to try and pin down the positions of these groups more accurately ...Jonathan Eisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953790938128734305noreply@blogger.com
