Positive selection and accelerated evolution of three limb-related genes in 80 mammals. The phylogenetic tree was from Timetree website. Sixteen representative cetacean species, eight pinnipedian species and one sirenian species were marked in light blue, pink and light green background, respectively. Positive selection in LMBR1 and PTCH1 were indicated in red star and blue star, respectively. Accelerated evolution of TBX5 was shown in green ball in phylogenetic tree. Numbers in parentheses represented the number of species used in this study
