Figure 3

Functional genome distribution (FGD) tree of 39 Streptococcus genomes. FGD analysis of 39 Streptococcus strains for which genome sequences are available, depicting the functional relationship among the species and strains based on the amino acid sequence similarities of the predicted ORFeomes. S. thermophilus strains formed a functional cluster with S. salivarius as the closest relative. The FGD analysis also predicted functional sub-clusterings among the S. pneumoniae and S. pyogenes strains. Approximated branch lengths, representing the level of functional similarity between genomes are depicted by distance units (du).
