Molecular Characterization of Sudanese and Southern Sudanese Chicken Breeds Using mtDNA D-Loop

Figure 3

(a) Median-joining network ( ) for 11 haplotypes of the northern Sudan indigenous chickens and one haplotype of commercial layers. The yellow circles refer to clade IV while the green circle refers to clade IIIc and the green circle denotes clade IIIc. The size of the circles is proportional to the frequency of the respective haplotypes and the numbers between the haplotype nodes refer to the positions of the nucleotide mutations compared to reference sequence (GenBank accession AB098668). (b) The yellow circles refer to clade IV and the green circle refers to clade IIIc while the red circle denotes clade IIIa.
