Primate phylogenetic tree with bootstrap scores. The 12-taxon Primate phylogenetic tree inferred with Neighbor-Joining [17]. The nucleotide sequences of 896-base fragments of mitochondrial DNAs [15] were considered and transformed into distances using the Jukes-Cantor transformation [18]. The bootstrap scores provided by the five considered bootstrapping strategies are indicated above internal branches. They are shown for the original and noisy data (the noisy data were obtained after the addition of 10% of noise to the original sequences; they are indicated between parentheses). The bootstrap scores are indicated in the following order: Standard bootstrap scores, secondary bootstrap scores, LS-based bootstrap scores, normalized secondary bootstrap scores (shown in bold) and normalized LS-based bootstrap scores.
