HGT detection via vCEED for uppS. The phylogenetic tree of the UppS (COG0020) family is shown on the left (redrawn from [27]). In addition to RP425 and RC0590 which was previously identified, an archaeal gene, APE1385, is clustered within a group of bacterial genes. Also observable is a bacterial branch consisting of DR2447, Cgl0966, Rv1086, and ML2467, with abnormal affinity to archaeal species. Both examples appear as outliers with vCEED (right) and indicate possible horizontal gene transfer. See Results for further details.
