Figure 9

Simplification of an ABC gene tree, example for detection of human oversight due to automation. The original tree (left) gives rise to a simplified tree (right) in a straightforward way by monophyletic compression, treating yeast sequences as well as plant sequences alike, and applying paraphyletic compression to the leaves marked by arrows. The human simplification in [1] just lists a single bifurcation of "Plant (ATM3)/Yeast (ATM1)" and "Bilateria B7", not considering the position of the worm sequence (dashed arrow) due to human oversight.
