Diversification of transcription-associated protein (TAP) families during land plant evolution is a key process yielding increased complexity of plant life. Understanding the evolutionary relationships between these genes is crucial to gain insight into plant evolution. We have determined a substantial set of TAPs that are focused on, but not limited to, land plants using PSI-BLAST searches and subsequent filtering and clustering steps. Phylogenies were created in an automated way using a com...
