M. pnemoniae clade M. hominisclade Mycoplasma subgroups Spirolasma-M.mycoidesclade Phytoplasma asteris OY strain 16S rRNA phylogeny vs whole genome phylogeny DUF285 occurs in some taxa on these branches
Questions arising from initial observations Evidence for HGT? How widely dispersed among species? Degree of similarity among disparate seq? Seq diversity of reps within/between ORFs? Clues to function by protein features?
