Sequences were analysed using Sequence Navigator Software version 1.0.1 (Applied Biosystems) and MacVector™ version 10.6.0 (Oxford Molecular Group), followed by manual adjustments. After the alignments of all Mamuand Mafa-B exon 1-4 sequences using the MacVector software, version 10.6.0, phylogenetic analysis was performed with the phylogeny.fr pipeline (Dereeper et al. 2008 ) using maximum likelihood (ML) of the software PhyML 3.0 with the substitution model HKY85 with 4 categories, the gamma shape parameter of 0.407, a transition/transversion ratio of 2.130, and a SH-like approximate Likelihood-Ratio Test (aLRT) for statistical test of branch support. For tree rendering the pipeline uses the program TreeDyn 198, and the output tree is rooted using the mid-point rooting method.
