Figure 2. Diversity and distance analysis of envelope sequences (C2–V5) of HIV-1 from Indian patients using PAUP* software.
(A) Nucleic acid diversity of corrected intrapopulation diversity was calculated for nucleotide sequences. The quartile (box) differences between the diversity of all sequence clones were plotted as interpopulation distances as a function of different compartments. (B) Corrected population distance between blood derived plasma and cells and semen derived plasma and cells was calculated for nucleotide sequences. Statistical significance of the differences between different compartments for each analysis was performed using nonparametric statistics, the Mann-Whitney test. BP, blood plasma; BC, blood cells; SP, semen plasma; SC, semen cells. Blood compartment, distance between blood plasma and blood cells; Semen compartment, distance between seminal plasma and seminal cells.
