Multigene tracking of quasispecies in viral persistence and clearance of hepatitis C virus

Figure 5 Unrooted tree showing the diversity of 384-nt E2 sequences from subjects. Letters represent individuals who cleared viremia (e and f) and those with persistent viremia (a-c), and lowercase numbers indicate the different clones obtained. The number and line at the bottom denote the proportion of nucleotides substituted for a given horizontal branch length. Dendrograms were produced using the Neighbor-joining program.
