Figure 2. HRM scores for plasmid controls and samples from adults with different stages of HIV disease.

Figure 2

The box and whisker plots show the distribution of HRM scores for six regions in the HIV genome in control plasmids (n = 5; Subtype B) and in adults with acute (n = 20), recent (n = 102), and non-recent (n = 67) HIV infection (see text). For each column, the median (closed square), interquartile range (IQR, box), lower inner fence (first quartile [Q1] – [1.5 X IQR]) and upper inner fence (third quartile [Q3] + [1.5 X IQR], whiskers), outliers (greater than [Q3] + [1.5 x IQR], open circle) and extremes (greater than [Q3] + [3 x IQR], asterisk) are shown.
