  1. 1The sequences for this analysis are provided in Additional file 4. 2The referenced sequences for mammalian and avian genes are human and duck, respectively. Amino acid sites inferred to be under positive selection from Bayes-Empirical-Bayes (BEB) analysis are shown with Log-likelihoods greater than 90% (blank), 95% (*) or 99% (**).
