blue Order
green Family
dotted A dotted rectangle indicates that the corresponding NCBI taxonomy level of classification is not shown in IMGT flat files (and therefore cannot be queried in IMGT/LIGM-DB).
bracket Brackets indicate a taxonomy level of classification not reported in the NCBI taxonomy.
white A non-limited vertical line indicates that there are more than 5 subdivisions

IMGT note:
The "Cetartiodactyla" NCBI taxonomy level of classification groups together the previously designated "Artiodactyla" and the "Cetacea".
