Figure 1.

Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree reconstructed with IQtree [42] from the amino acid alignments of reverse-transcriptases encoded by genomes of recognized and putative members of the family Caulimoviridae and manually adjusted sequences of the endogenous cotton pararetroviral element—eCPRVE (red font). The representative tree was visualized with iTOL v5 [44]. Different colors denote the 11 currently recognized genera in the family. Clades with statistical support of >90% are indicated by a red circle.
