Classification tree of the mtDNA haplogroups in chickens. The tree based on control region information is taken from the cited paper (2). The diagnostic mutations considered relative to the reference NC_007235 belonging to haplogroup B are indicated on the branches. Nucleotide changes are specified for transversions by suffixes. Mutations toward a base identical-by state to the reference sequences are indicated with the prefix @.
