Phylogenetic relationships of VSAREP satellite DNA sequences among 12 varanids inferred using Bayesian inference analysis. Support values at each node are Bayesian posterior probability. A colored line indicates different subfamilies (VSAREP subfamily I (SFI), SFII, SFIII, and SFIV). VSAREP stDNA sequences of the 12 varanids were: Varanus salvator macromaculatus (VSA(M)), V. salvator sulfur (VSA(S)), V. salvator ziegleri (VSA(Z)), V. bengalensis (VBE), V. nebulosus (VNE), V. rudicollis (VRU), V. dumerilii (VDU), V. salvadorii (VSALV), V. komodoensis (VKO), V. gouldii (VGO), V. acanthurus (VAC), and V. rosenbergi (VRO). All repeated units were grouped together with two major different clades (a and b). Clade a contained SFIII and SFIV, and clade b contained SFI and SFII
