(a) L31e and L12-L10-L11-L1 cluster. ΨThe orientation of all the genes in the entire cluster flipped for aligning with the other genomes. Adjacent arrows do not indicate their order on the genome except when they are boxed inside dashed red boxes; genes within an arrow are contiguous; red diamond represents gene(s) absent in the corresponding genome/location; arrows within dashed red boxes are contiguous; genes/ORFs not colored are not the usual components of this cluster. TP: trimeric intracellular cation-selective channel proteinellular cation-selective channel protein; HP: hypothetical protein; gene begins or terminates a contig; RNP: ribonuclease P protein component 4; RBP: RNA binding protein; nep1: ribosomal RNA small subunit methyltransferase gene; #ORF(s) annotated as HP(s); TR: transcriptional regulator; genes in yellow color occur outside the core/cluster. (b) L31e and L12-L10-L11-L1 cluster. ΨThe orientation of all the genes in the entire cluster flipped for aligning with the other genomes. Adjacent arrows do not indicate their order on the genome except when they are boxed inside dashed red boxes; genes within an arrow are contiguous; red diamond represents gene(s) absent in the corresponding genome/location; arrows within dashed red boxes are contiguous; genes/ORFs not colored are not the usual components of this cluster; in the two Heimdallarchaeotes, each colored (blue, green, or red) box represents a different contig. TP: trimeric intracellular cation-selective channel protein; HP: hypothetical protein; genes begins or terminates a contig; RNP: ribonuclease P protein component 4; RBP: RNA binding protein; nep1: ribosomal RNA small subunit methyltransferase gene; #ORF(s) annotated as HP(s); genes in white (black background) are part of the big S10-spc cluster, but occurring with the secE-spt5-L11 segment in the Thaumarchaeote N. aquarius AQ6f; TR: transcriptional regulator; genes in yellow color occur outside the core/cluster.
