a
Tests of sequence similarity were performed between the NCRs of the three exceptional fish mitogenomes and the NCR of other closely related fish species.
b
Only results with E-value<1.0E-05 are shown.
c
T. ocellatum NCR3 showed similar results.
d
J. grypotus NCR3 showed similar results.
e
Mitogenome with two nearly identical CRs. Only one was included in this analysis.
