Figure Lengend Snippet: Bootscanning analysis of recombination for complete ORF sequences using a 600 bp window, a 20 bp step increment and 1000 bootstrap replicates. Genotypes 1 and 2 are shown as the red and green lines, respectively, while the grey line represents the outlier genotype 4. The dashed line indicates the 80 % threshold used to denote significance between genotypes. (a) Cin03 is a non-recombinant genotype 2 isolate. (b) Cin08 is a non-recombinant genotype 2 isolate. (c) Cin11 is a genotype 2 → 1 → 2 recombinant isolate. (d) VCU02 is a genotype 1 → 2 → 1 → 2 → 1 recombinant isolate.
Article Snippet: To identify possible recombination events, bootscanning analysis of complete ORF sequences was performed as implemented in SimPlot version 3.5.1 using the Kimura 2-parameter with a 600 base pair (bp) window, a 20 bp step increment and 1000 bootstrap replicates ( Lole et al. , 1999 ).
