Variations in the CEA subfamily expansion in different microbat species indicate rapid evolution. Evolutionary relationship of amino acid sequences of the N domains of microbats. The phylogenetic tree illustrates the three groups of CEACAM1-related genes in microbats: CEACAMs, PSG I, and PSG II. The species from which the sequences are derived are marked in addition to a three letter species name, by a color/symbol code. While in the genome of M. lucifugus (Mlu), Myotis brandtii (Mbr) and Myotis davidii (Mda) nearly equal numbers of PSGs of group I and group II exit, PSGs from group I dominate in the genome of E. fuscus (Efu) and PSG of group II dominate in the genome of P. parnellii. Phylogenetic analysis based on amino acid sequences was performed using the MEGA6 software. Numbers on each node indicate the statistical support of bootstrap analysis. Scale bar at the top indicates substitutions per site
