Figure 4

Multiple alignment of cytochrome b sequences from feathers of wild turkey, Canada goose and ruffed grouse. Dots indicate base pairs that are identical to the reference sequence (Meleagris gallopavo EF153719). In all but one case, the obtained sequences were either identical to or one base-pair different from the published reference sequences of the known species obtained from GenBank (accession numbers listed). Sample FE18, the two-barb grouse sequence, displayed ambiguous bases, probably caused by low template and potential contamination from chicken DNA.
