Median joining network of 30 sequences showing the occurrence of 23 non-synonymous substitutions.
<p>Each circle represents a sequence. Branch length is proportional to the number of mutations. Note that two A11 and two uncharacterized sequences are lumped into single (larger) nodes (see Materials and Methods). The haplogroup or D-loop clade (for Hg A) affiliation of clusters of sequences is shown in large empty characters. Aminoacid replacements are shown beside each branch in their polarized form. The Hg A portion of the network is magnified while the original network is in the inset. A large lozenge indicates the likely position of the root and was added in the drawing to partition three variants peculiar of Hg C. Their polarization was obtained by comparison with <i>C. ibex</i>.</p

Analysis of MOlecular VAriance after partitioning according to different criteria.
<p>Analysis of MOlecular VAriance after partitioning according to different criteria.</p
Median joining network of 419 haplotypes and an outgroup obtained as described in Materials and Methods.
<p>Branch length is not proportional to mutational steps. Node size is proportional to haplotype frequency. The correspondence between node clusters and clades in the NJ tree is reported. Unclassified sequences are blackened.</p
