Schematic diagram of the method used to determine the order of sequences in a circular diagram. (a) The original phylogenetic tree that contains six sequences. Sequence A represents the initial sequence chosen for subsequent tree topology scanning. The order of the six sequences in the phylogenetic tree was determined as follows. Relative to sequence A, sequence C is the farthest, sequence B is the second farthest, sequence F is the third farthest, sequence E is the fourth farthest, and sequence D is nearest. (b) A rotated phylogenetic tree based on the order of sequences determined as in (a). (c) The order of, and phylogenetic distances between, the sequences that were determined as in (a)
