Genes per family? total genes/ total families
Average -Skewed? Genes per family Take median All cyano - 1
Shared families? Earlier– phylogenetic trees based on 16-S RNA difference Unique to Npun and other
More families More genes per family Lots of genes in a few families Share families- shared functions?
