The evolutionary rate is significantly slow in the coelacanth lineage. (A) Phylogenetic tree of euteleostomes constructed with 5247 orthologous genes using the maximum-likelihood method. (B) Genetic divergence between L. chalumnae individuals as well as between L. chalumnae (TCC041-004) and L. menadoensis (20080806) individuals estimated using SNVs. Homozygous rates indicate the proportion of homozygotic SNVs among total SNVs. In total, 1,673,302,134 bp were used for the analysis.
