Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Proteins with both domains were mainly found in charophyte green algae and land plants and absent from the named other algal groups.
- Observation UPF0261 and TBST domains are generally encoded by different genes in bacteria, archaea and fungi.
- Association Co-evolution analysis suggested a putative interaction between the two domain-containing proteins.
- Observation Fusion of the two acquired genes gave rise to Tm-1L in streptophytes.
