From: Barking up the wrong tree: Modern northern European dogs fail to explain their origin

Figure 1

Reduced median network based on 561 sequences (216 bp in length) including 18 ancient sequences (full sequences, not only those in Table 2) produced in this study and a coyote ( Canis latrans ) outgroup. After removing tri-status characters, 36 haplotypes remain; those in red contain at least one ancient Scandinavian individual. A NJ tree based on Kimura-2 and bootstrapped with 1000 pseudoreplicates yielded a similar topology where Hg A was not supported, Hg B received 81% support, Hg C 84%, and Hg D 65%. Four medieval and three Neolithic dogs are distributed among the Hg A sequences, and 11 Neolithic sequences are distributed within the C clade.
