Figure 3

Electrophoretic gel patterns of PCR products for 15 representative SINE loci. All loci analyzed in this study are shown in Additional file 1. Bands indicating the presence of the SINE are shown by black arrowheads, whereas gray arrowheads show those that indicate SINE absence. Loci are assigned alphabetically from A to J according to the clade on the phylogenetic tree shown in Figure 4. The species are numbered as follows: 1, Striped dolphin; 2, Risso's dolphin; 3, Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin; 4, Common bottlenose dolphin; 5, Long-beaked common dolphin; 6, Chinese white dolphin; 7, Pantropical spotted dolphin; 8, Beluga; 9, Finless porpoise; 10, Yangtze River dolphin; 11, Ginkgo-toothed beaked whale; 12, Ganges River dolphin; 13, Pygmy sperm whale; 14, Omura's whale; 15, Common minke whale; 16, hippopotamus.
