Supplementary Figure 1: DNA-based phylogeny of the gene and pseudogene transcripts. This file shows a maximum likelihood tree that was created in PAUP using a general time reversible plus gamma (α = 1.5090) model of sequence evolution. DPY19L3 was used as an outgroup to root the tree. Bootstrap values were calculated using 100 replicates and are shown at the nodes.

Supplementary Figure 2: Putative novel domain identified by MEME. This file shows one of three motifs identified by MEME. This is the only motif that does not contain a transmembrane domain. Amino acids conserved in >90% of the proteins (at least 38 of 42 sequences) are shaded (grey when similarity groups are used). Asterisks (*) denote the 23 amino acids that have >90% identity without using similarity groups.
