Fig. 1.
The genetic distance among various species of deer with query sequences of ATPase 6/8 genes of Axis porcinus. The unit genetic distance is the number of base differences per site. Greatest genetic distance is observed between C2_N2 and water deer (Hydropotes inermis) that is 0.621 and smallest genetic distance (0.012) is observed between C2_N2 and H2_N7.

Phylogenetic tree of deer species with respect to query sequences using ATPase 6/8 genes. The reference sequence shows 100 bootstrap value with our query sequence. Moreover, it appears from this phylogenetic tree that Axis porcinus is closely related to cheetal deer (Axis axis).
