Phylogenetic analyses of the vertebrate FOXP family verifies the existence of cartilaginous fish orthologues to FOXP1–4, but alternative rooting strategies, using (a) a relaxed clock model, or (b) invertebrate FOXP sequences as an outgroup, show that the root of the FOXP phylogeny cannot be confidently placed. Other details for (a) and (b) as per Figs. 3 and 6. (c) Alignment of the FOXP3 DNA-binding domain from phylogenetically representative vertebrates suggests that cartilaginous fish FOXP3 is not atypical
