Alignment of C14orf121 exon 35 sequences from 34 mammals (upper panel), and LAMC2 exon 13 sequences from 28 mammals (lower panel). The indels shared by xenarthrans and afrotherians are highlighted with boxes. Full-length amino acid sequences are derived from draft genome sequences or traces. Sequences with truncated ends were generated by PCR using conserved primers in the exon flanking the indel.
