Unrooted HCV Cladograms From Previous Studies.
Panel A shows the first cladogram to divide HCV into six genotypes, based on a neighbor-joining analysis of the NS5 region of HCV that included 76 sequences (Simmonds et al. 1993). Panel B shows a more recent HCV consensus tree with a different genotype branching pattern compared to Panel A, based on an analysis of 27 full-length HCV genomic sequences (Salemi et al. 2002). The table below each panel indicates the genotype distribution of the sequences analyzed in these studies.
