The phylogenetic tree T of six mammalian genomes: mouse (red), rat (blue), dog (green), macaque (violet), human (orange), and chimpanzee (yellow) with a root X on the MRD + QHC branch. The branches are directed toward X and labeled with the corresponding pairs of complementary T-consistent multi-colors. The Graphic-consistent multi-color from each pair also labels the starting node of the corresponding directed branch. Note that the tree orientation may not necessarily correlate with the time scale, and the root genome X may not necessarily be a common ancestor of the leaf genomes.
