Figure 2From: Homoplastic microinversions and the avian tree of lifeExample of a microinversion. (a) A conserved region in TPM1 intron 6 with a 24 bp microinversion (outlined in white) in Trogon personatus. (b) Inverting the Trogon sequence (indicated in lower-case) results in a sequence identical to Pharomachrus auriceps, its sister taxon in the tree.Back to article page
