Role of Positive Selection in Functional Divergence of Mammalian Neuronal Apoptosis Inhibitor Proteins during Evolution

<table>Phylogenetic tree of NAIPs reconstructed using two different methods (NJ and ME). A total of 16 NAIP protein sequences from seven mammalian species (cow, horse, human, chimpanzee, monkey, mouse, and rat) were included in the analysis. Bootstrap values are shown on the branches for the two different methods (following the order of the NJ and ME methods).</table>
