The analysis also showed that the pygmy hog had never clustered with the wild boar or any other Sus species. [5] Based upon this genetic analysis and resulting evidence, the pygmy hog has again been re-classified as its own unique genus Porcula, which is a sister lineage of Sus. Genome analyses support the independence of Porcula. [11]
