Alignments of pseudogene (ps) and functional gene sequences. Amino acid translations were used to guide alignment of the nucleotide sequences. Positions that are identical between >50 % of sequences have a grey background. The nucleotide of the functional gene at which the alignment begins is given at the start of each alignment. a p-cox1-a; (b) p-cox1-b*; (c) p-cox1-c; (d) p-cox2; (e) p-nad4; (f) p-nad5*. *The final 7 and 9 bp of alignments for p-cox1-b and p-nad5 were removed for space considerations
