Figure 2: Median-joining networks of 4 highlander-specific lineages carrying pathogenic mutations.
From: MtDNA analysis reveals enriched pathogenic mutations in Tibetan highlanders
Median-joining networks were based on mtDNA coding region sequences corresponding to rCRS positions 577-16023. Tibetans, Lhobas, Dengs, Mongpas and Sherpas were denoted to blue, yellow, green, cyan, and red, respectively. Other East Eurasian sequences were left white. Red arrows indicated the outgroups and the branches where the pathogenic mutations occurred.
