Article Title: Profile of the HIV Epidemic in Cape Verde: Molecular Epidemiology and Drug Resistance Mutations among HIV-1 and HIV-2 Infected Patients from Distinct Islands of the Archipelago

Figure Lengend Snippet: The phylogenetic inferences were performed by the Neighbor-Joining algorithm under the Kimura-2 parameter nucleotide substitution model using the MEGA v5.0 package. The scale represents the number of substitutions per site. Cape Verde and reference sequences are represented, respectively as black and white circles. Bootscan analyses of HIV-1 major URF samples are displayed. Recombinant profiles were inferred using a sliding window of 200 bp, steps of 20 bp and the Kimura-2 parameters model using SimPlot 3.5.1 software. Reference samples corresponding to the major HIV-1 subtypes are indicated by different colors.
