Cladogram and the ZF array arrangements for lineage I, II, and outgroups. Schematic gene (protein coding) structure of the PRDM9 is shown. Approximate locations of each functional domain are identified based on the previous report [18]. Each array is 84-nucleotide base pairs (i.e., 28 AA base pairs). The number of ZFs for each species/individual is mentioned. Each unique array for the respective lineages are shown (Lineage I: A1-A27; Lineage II: B1-B34; Outgroup: C1 - C8). Identical arrays (100% identity at nucleotide level) are color coded. Lineage II showed more number of inter-species identical arrays than any other groups. All groups showed re-arrangements of the arrays within each individual
