Figure 6

Estimated lineage-specific nucleotide substitution rates across four CNE sequence alignments from the Hmx2/3 gene region. Rates were calculated in BASEML using the Felsenstein-84 model of substitution, no clock and alpha and kappa estimated from the data (A) CRCNE00009707; (B) CRCNE00009711; (C) CRCNE00009716; (D) CRCNE00009741. Non-bat branches (grey) and bat branches are coloured as follows: Old World fruit bats (black); echolocating Yinpterochiroptera (green); Yangochiroptera (brown). See Additional file 7: Figure S6 for more information regarding the approximate genomic location (in kilo-bases) of each of the four CNEs under study and the three proximate genes (HMX3, HMX2 and BUB3) based on the human genome.
