From: MC1R diversity in Northern Island Melanesia has not been constrained by strong purifying selection and cannot explain pigmentation phenotype variation in the region

Fig. 3

MC1R haplotype network of Melanesian and 1000 Genomes samples. Melanesian haplotypes are colored according to island (Bougainville: red; New Hanover: yellow; New Britain: green; New Ireland: blue; unaffiliated island: purple) and 1000 Genomes haplotypes are shown in grayscale (African: light gray; East Asian: black; European: dark gray; South Asian: white). The size of the each circle is roughly proportional to the frequency of that haplotype. Numbers next to mutational branches refer to the base position in the MC1R coding sequence where the mutation occurs. Base position 515, the location of rs2228479 is highlighted in red
