From: Genome-wide analyses reveal lineage specific contributions of positive selection and recombination to the evolution of Listeria monocytogenes

Figure 5

Phylogenetic consensus tree generated by ClonalFrame from the concatenated alignment of cheA , flaR , lmo0693 , phoP and lmo2537 for 45 isolates. The 95% consensus phylogeny was obtained from two independent runs of ClonalFrame. This phylogeny clearly shows that the L. monocytogenes isolates form four distinct clusters, with lineage IIIA and IIIC (IIIA/C) isolates forming a sister group to lineage I isolates, while lineage IIIB isolates form an independent cluster that diverged earlier from the other isolates. Internal branches that showed evidence for recombination are labeled from A to J. Isolates with premature stop codons in flaR are marked with*.
