Comparative analysis for each vertebrate group of the Tamura-Nei nucleotide distances between the two functional regions (zinc finger and DNA binding) contained in the 5'-end of the gene. Number of sequences used for each monophyletic vertebrate lineage: Amphibia = 7; Aves = 119; Crocodylia = 13; Lepidosauria = 80; Mammalia = 37; Testudines = 24. "df" indicates the degree of freedom. * indicates the significant p-value (p < 0.05).
