Figure 1

Flowchart of haplotype differentiation (PolyMin-phaseI). Starting with the complete matrix of haplotypes × polymorphisms, the algorithm used in PolyMin divides the haplotypes in groups and subgroups, until no further subdivision is possible. As long as there are polymorphisms within a subgroup that have a PIC value different from 0, new subgroups can be formed. The process stops either if there are no more polymorphisms with PIC values different from 0 or if all haplotypes are divided into different subgroups. The results of the differentiation are recorded (see double framed boxes). Pm: polymorphism, PIC: polymorphism information content.
