Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree for ovine β-defensin proteins compared to their bovine orthologs on (a) chromosome 13 and (b) chromosome 26, respectively. Trees were constructed using full length β-defensin sequences from Bos taurus and Ovis aries aligned via Clustal omega, representing two of four β-defensin clusters. The values at each node represent percentage bootstrap scores at 1000 iterations
