Figure 5
Median-joining haplotype network of 855 birds belonging to 146 haplotypes. Various haplotypes of chicken species/sub-species are represented in different colored circles. The size of the circles is proportional to the haplotype frequency. Some of the important haplotype numbers are indicated. The median vectors that represent hypothetical intermediates or un-sampled haplotypes, are shown in blue circles. The data indicate formation of a star-like phylogeny of G. g. murghi around H_112. Black circle (H_47) indicates C. japonica. Other Gallus species are indicated by their names.
