Lineage-specific genes/gene families are more numerous than conserved gene families among molluscs. a The number of common gene families assigned using OrthoMCL DB. b The number of gene families not assigned using OrthoMCL DB, but detected among mollusc species. c Gene composition of the three mollusc genomes. Bars represent the number of genes that are either members of common gene families (assigned to an OrthoMCL DB gene family; blue), shared families (not assigned using OrthoMCL DB, but shared by at least two mollusc species; green), lineage-specific families (present only in a single mollusc genome; yellow), and orphan genes (with no putative homolog; orange)
