Genus-Wide Comparative Genomics of Malassezia Delineates Its Phylogeny, Physiology, and Niche Adaptation on Human Skin
Fig 3
Phylogenetic relationships and lineage specific events in the Malassezia genus.
A) The relationship of the Malassezia genus with respect to other fungi with sequenced genomes. Malassezia seem to form a distinct group in the subphylum of Ustilaginomycotina contrary to earlier reports. B) An expanded phylogeny of Malassezia that includes all known species in the genus. Major lineages of the genus are annotated with the number of lineage specific events that were identified in this study (G: gene family gain; L: gene family loss based on PFam analysis; see S3 Table for details). Horizontal numbers on each branch are bootstrap values.
