Shown are hub domains preferentially found in animal-specific combinations. We defined hub domains that are preferentially found in animal-specific combinations as those found in animal-specific combinations more than twice as frequently as in deuterostome-specific combinations. Regarding the group specificity of the domains, the terms 'Euk', 'Ani', and 'Deu' refer to eukaryote, animal, and deuterostome, respectively. 'Com' indicates that the domain is shared by prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
