Figure 2

Phylogenetic tree of the HPV16 variants formed with six representative E6-2 ORF sequences. Numbers to the right of each branch indicate the identity of the cervical samples; the name of the variant is at the right of the identity number. Capital letters to the extreme right indicate the HPV16 European (E) or Asian-American (AA) subtype to which the variants belong. This optimal phylogenetic tree was constructed to scale, with branch lengths having the same units as the evolutionary distances used to infer them. Note that sequences with the A334G and A404T single nucleotide changes (framed) identified for the first time in this work, as well as the already known C188G, T350G variants are close to the E-P Ref (P) prototype variant.
