Table S4. PAML results of zebrafish finTRIM groupA sequences: detected sites under positive selection by BEB analysis. Section B30.2: PAML analysis was carried out with both the complete B30.2 domain and the segmented alignments before (1 to 285 nt) or after (286 to 485 nt) the detected breakage point by GARD. Section RBB : PAML analysis was carried out with both the complete RBB domain and the segmented alignments before (1 to234 nt) or after (238 to 465 nt) the detected breakage point by GARD (section1). The numbering of amino acids corresponds with the sequence of zebrafish finTRIM 13.
