Phylogenetic relationships between the LWS genes of O. latipes and O. sakaizumii. (a) The 5′ part which might not undergo gene conversion (nucleotide positions 1–163), (b) the 3′ part which underwent gene conversion (297–1,071), or (c) the entire coding region (1–1,071) were used for the phylogenetic reconstruction by the maximum likelihood method (see Methods for details). Branch supports were shown as bootstrap values in 100 replications. The relationships focused in this study were highlighted by yellow boxes. The position of tilapia fluctuates for unknown reasons, but that of O. melastigma remains stable as an appropriate outgroup of medaka.
