Figure 5

Core set tree compared to MP tree. We considered the 25 haplotypes of groups 3 and 5 in Fig. 4a. PAUP* yielded 15 different branch patterns on the maximum parsimony criterion. One of them gave the same result as the core set approach (Fig. 5a), while another of them gave a very different pattern from our result (Fig. 5b). The bold lines indicated by block letters in Fig. 5a denote parallel changes of four pairs.
