Non-coding 'SPA orthologous loci' sequences. Detailed features obtained for the 6 pairwised alignments of the 4 SPA orthologous regions excluding the SPA gene itself are mentioned with the CNS length, percentage of sequence identity, Ks and Ka values and rate. As an example, alignment of the gA and gB SPA orthologous regions of respectively 31 498 bp and 18 589 bp correspond to a cumulative CNS length of 11 152 bp with 85.9% of sequence identity and 0.874, 0.664, 1.3 values for respectively Ks, Ka and Ks/Ka.

Coding 'SPA orthologous loci' sequences. 6 pairwised comparisons of the SPA gene between A/B B/D D/A A/S B/S D/S sequences are associated with the number of substitutions, the number of transition, the number of transversion, the transition/transversion ratio, the Ks value, the Ka value and speciation date (MYA).
