  1. Aminoacid sequences were taken from six mammalian species: Homo sapiens (human), Phoca vitulina (seal), Bos taurus (cow) Oryctolagus cuniculus (rabbit), Mus musculus (mouse), and Didelphis virginiana (opposum). The tree believed to be the best estimate of mammalian phylogeny [40] has been underlined. Values in bold indicate the trees included in the 0.95 confidence set: the trees with the highest confidence levels which add up to 0.95 for the expected likelihood weights (ELW) test, and the trees with P-values above 0.05 for one-tailed Kishino-Hasegawa (KH) test, Shimodaira-Hasegawa (SH) test, generalised least squares (GLS) test, and weighted least squares test (WLS).
