Phylogenetic trees of internal protein genes. Trees include all avian influenza virus isolates collected from wild birds in Mongolia 2005-2007 and selected reference isolates. Trees are shown for all 8 segments of each isolate as follows: A) NS, B) M, C) NP, D) PA, E) PB1 and F) PB2. Trees were constructed with merged duplicate runs of BEAST v. 1.4.8 using HKY substitution, empirical base frequency, Gamma heterogeneity, codon 2 partitions, relaxed lognormal clock, Yule Process tree prior with default operators with UPGMA starting tree and MCMC length of 10⁷. Posterior values are shown at the nodes. Isolates collected during this study are shown in red font.
