Phylogenetic analysis of osteoglossids and other teleosts by using concatenated mitochondrial protein-coding genes. The data sets consist of a total of 3,675 amino acid positions concatenated from 12 protein sequences for each species. The phylogenetic relationship of Asian arowana with respect to representatives from Actinopterygii and Sarcopterygii taxa using dogfish shark as outgroup was performed by maximum parsimony (MP), maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inferences (BI) methods. Tree topology produced by the different methods was similar. Bootstrap values are in parentheses and in MP/ML/BI order.
