Sequences for 54 nuclear genes were taken from Perelman et al.'s [12] nexus file with
modifications to eliminate problems with probable contaminants and misidentified sequences (Table S2); sequences for 15
additional nuclear genes (ABO, CXCR4, CXCR5, Epsilon globin, FGA, IRBP intron 1, IRBP intron 3, MC1R, NRAMP, PRNP, VWF intron 11) were
obtained from GenBank; and new sequences (JX856181 - JX856283, JX869897 - JX869930) for exons of four nuclear genes (GHR, IRBP, VWF, TTN) were combined with previously published GenBank sequences for these loci.
