Table 1 Distances between the NUTs and the 'universal tree of life'

From: Search for a 'Tree of Life' in the thicket of the phylogenetic forest

	TOL	NUTs	NUTs (1:1)	Random NUTs
TOL	0
NUTs	0.604 ± 0.096	0.659 ± 0.076
NUTs (1:1)	0.554 ± 0.050	0.639 ± 0.065	0.607 ± 0.065
Random NUTs	0.994 ± 0.011	0.998 ± 0.004	0.999 ± 0.004	0.998 ± 0.005

The table shows the mean split distance ± standard deviation for the three sets of NUTs and the 'universal tree of life' (TOL) [37]. The overlap between the tree of life and the NUTs consisted of 47 species, so the distances were computed after pruning the NUTs to that set of species.
