Figure 3. The creation of additional subclusters within cluster A. Novel groups are indicated in bold squares. (A) VIRIDIC analysis of the queried subclusters. The similarity values range from 41% to 100 % nucleotide similarity. Based on a ~ 50% nucleotide similarity threshold, three groups comprised of A2 phage can be observed; (B) Gegenees analysis of the queried subclusters. Considering a ≥ 50% proteome similarity boundary, the three groups within A2 identified by VIRIDIC are supported; (C) VICTOR-generated dendrogram of the proposed subclusters. Novel subclusters are indicated in red squares. The three A2 groups appear as monophyletic clades on the dendrogram, similar to how the other subclusters are represented, supporting the creation of two subclusters.
