Phylogenomic dissection of eukaryotes. All largest possible eukaryotic clades are plotted. y-axis: average sequence identity between a clade and its sister group (I C-S); x-axis: number of species. A horizontal reference line is drawn corresponding to the average of the singleton I C-S greater than or equal to their third quartile. a All clades. b Clades of plastid origin (shown in green in a) are selectively removed
