Percent identity to published Rana species sequences.

Species	Percent identity
Rana pipiens	99.42
Rana chiricahuensis	95.69
Rana capito	94.17
Rana yavapaeniensis	93.57
Rana sylvatica	90.57
Rana temoparia	89.5

Transcripts generated in this study were aligned to previously published Rana species sequences and a percent identity matrix was computed (4). This study utilized Rana_pipiens_Transcript_030065, 050213, 496664, and 023205 for 18s rRNA, histone H3, rhodopsin, and 28s rRNA sequences, respectively.
