Supplementary Figures. Supplementary Figure 1. Ratio1, Ratio2 and Ratio3 histograms of the P. putida P. syringae E. coli putative orthologous sets summarizing results of a true negative introduction analysis. Supplementary Figure 2. Ratio2 and Ratio3 histograms of the mouse-rat-human putative orthologous sets indicating the average proportion of true negatives observed in our simulation of an incomplete genome through the iterative introduction of a mouse (ingroup1) paralog in randomly selected ortholog sets. Supplementary Figure 3. Histograms of Ortholuge Ratios 1, 2, and 3 for the mouse-rat-human RBH RefSeq nucleotide dataset. Supplementary Figure 4. Histograms of Ortholuge Ratios 1, 2, and 3 for the mouse-rat-human OrthoMCL protein dataset.
