Bootscan analyses of 4 NFLG sequences of viruses from the BF13 cluster, 2 from Spain, obtained by us, and 2 from Italy, obtained by Saladini et al. (2012). The horizontal axis represents the position in the HXB2 genome of the midpoint of a 250 nt window moving in 20 nt increments and the vertical axis represents bootstrap values supporting clustering with subtype reference sequences. As outgroup, a reconstructed B-F1 ancestor sequence was used. Breakpoint positions of segments of potential recombinant origin detected in the bootscan analyses in at least 3 viruses are indicated on top, numbered as in the HXB2 genome. These breakpoints were located in the midpoint positions of the transitions between the 75% consensus sequences of subtype B and of the Brazilian F1 subtype variant.
