Figure 1

Maximum Likelihood tree of mtDNA haplotype sequences found within modern (black) and ancient (red) sheep. Branch topography supported by bootstrap values greater than 50% is indicated; the number of samples sharing haplotypes is given in brackets; breed names are abbreviated as Oxford Down (Oxf), Olkuska (OL), Pramenka (Pra), Bozakh (Boz), Oparino (Opa), Romanov (Ro), Viena (Vie), Kainuu Grey Sheep (Kai), Åland (ALD) and Finnsheep (Fin); ancient Finnish sheep samples are divided into three periods: Iron Age (Iron), Medieval (Med) and Post-Medieval (Post) according to radiocarbon or context dating (see Table 1); the tree is rooted with a sequence from urial sheep (Ovis vignei bocenteriensis) [GenBank: AF039580.1].
