<b>[Extended data] Beyond the Beauty: Meristic and Genomic Signatures of Bangka’s Endemic Betta Fishes</b>

This is extended data of the manuscript titled Beyond the Beauty: Meristic and Genomic Signatures of Bangka’s Endemic Betta Fishes. The caption: Suppl Fig 1. The meristic (A) and morphometric (B) characters of Betta spp. Suppl Fig 2. A comparative analysis of the Melanocortin 1 Receptor (MC1R) and Paired box 7 (PAX7) protein sequences among B. burdigala, B. chloropharynx, and B. schalleri, alongside B. splendens, Anabas testudineus, Channa argus, Oreochromis niloticus, Danio rerio, and Carassius auratus. (A) A phylogenetic tree derived from MC1R protein alignments across nine fish species. (B) Multiple Sequence Alignment of the PAX7 MC1R protein in these nine fish species. (C) A phylogenetic tree derived from PAX7 protein alignments across nine fish species. (D) Multiple Sequence Alignment of the PAX7 protein in these nine fish species. The complete protein sequence alignment of MC1R and PAX7 are available in Supplementary file 2 and Supplementary file 3 respectively. Supplementary file 1.
