Figure 1
Skeleton of the basal mtDNA phylogeny for the haplogroups identified in the data of Silva et al. (2002). “CRS” and “rCRS” refer to the reference sequence of Anderson et al. (1981) and the revised reference sequence of Andrews et al. (1999), respectively. The suffixes A, G, C, and T indicate transversions, and “del” indicates a deletion. Parallel mutations in different branches are underlined.
