Alignment of three Neomonachus tropicalis D-loop hypervariable region sequences (from USNM 100358, 102527, and 102534).: Explanation note: The Neomonachus schauinslandi sequence was used as a reference. Dots indicate identity to the reference. Differences are shown as the base change relative to the reference. Numbering starts at the first base after the primer closest to the 5' end. The X symbols indicate the break between the two amplicons that are approximately 200 bp apart. Sequences were generated from consensus sequences of 3–5 individual PCR product clones. Several products were cloned and sequenced from more than one amplicon to confirm that the differences observed were not DNA damage related or due to sequencing errors.
