Figure 1

FORS-D analysis of HIV-1 subtypes B' and C. A, FONS and FORS-M values of HIV-1 subtypes B'; B, FONS and FORS-M values of HIV-1 subtypes C; C, FORS-D values (± SE) of both HIV-1 subtypes B' and C; D, the location of all breakpoints and mosaic pattern of four full-length HIV-1 recombinants circulated in China. FONS, FORS-M and FORS-D values were calculated in successive 200 nt windows, each of which overlapped the previous window by 150 nt. Vertical dashed lines indicated the location of breakpoints in FORS-D distributions. The red open circles in FORS-D distributions (C) pointed out these recombination breakpoints located in regions with higher negative FORS-D values. The solid triangle indicated the breakpoints shared by more than one HIV-1 recombinant form (D). The inserted recombined fragments were numbered from 1 to 9 (D).
