The fidelity test of the validated core genes. The fidelity tests (A): The RF distances of the core genes trees from the corresponding 16S rRNA gene trees. Each data point indicates the means and standard deviations of 50 trees (110 taxa each). The yellow dashed line indicates the top 20 genes with the highest fidelities in the left. The fidelity test and comparisons for phylogenies of multiple gene sets (B): The RF distances (brown boxes) of the trees based on the concatenated genes (top 20-gene set and all 85 gene set) from the corresponding 16S rRNA gene trees of the 50 groups of genomes. The asterisk indicate significant difference from the top 20-gene set. The blue bars and right side y-axis show the taxon presence ratio of each gene set, which indicates the percentage of taxa with all members of the gene sets
