  1. Splids (gap length \(\ge\) 2 bp) were extracted from the ENCODE regions containing sequence information for all taxa. For each tree the symmetric difference (Robinson–Foulds distance, \(d_{RF}\)), the normalized RF distance (\(d'_{RF}\)), the quartet distance (\(d_{Q}\), at most 58,905), and the normalized quartet distance (\(d'_{Q}\)) to the ENCODE guide tree is shown. rfbat = Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, sbbat = Myotis lucifugus, Carn. = Carnivora. “×” = monophyly/position recovered, “–” = monophyly/position not recovered.
