Table 1.
Exon datasets and methods used to construct the laurasiatherian topology. Datasets both with (9266 exons) and without a minimum length of 500 bp (157 exons) are displayed. The interordinal clades within Laurasiatheria with the lowest bootstrap/posterior probability values are also displayed. NT denotes nucleotide, AA denotes amino acid, SM indicates supermatrix, p.c. indicates branches < 0.01 substitutions per site collapsed into polytomies, b.n.c.—branches not collapsed, ML —maximum likelihood, Car—Carnivora, Pho—Pholidota, Fer—Ferae, Cet—Cetartiodactyla, Per—Perissodactyla, Chi—Chiroptera, Eul—Eulipotyphla.
