Figure 6

Plot of branch lengths obtained from rRNA versus various genes and gene clusters. Branches leading to the most recent common ancestor of a group are labeled e.g. "Ancestor of All Snakes". Snake branches are indicated with filled circles, and non-snake tetrapod branches are indicated with an unfilled circle. The locations of selected snake branches are labeled (in bold) with arrows. Outlying non-snake branches are indicated and labeled in normal type. Genes and gene clusters shown are (A) COX1, (B) CytB, (C) COX2 + ATP6 + ATP8, (D) ND2, and (E) COX3 + ND3 + ND4L, (F) ND1, (G) ND4, (H) ND5, (I) ND6.
