Evolutionary similarity of PGT135–137 to donor 39 heavy-chain variable-domain sequences. Germline-rooted maximum-likelihood tree of PGT135–137 and 202 sequences identified by the iterative intra-donor phylogenetic analysis of donor 39 heavy-chain variable domain sequences determined by 454 pyrosequencing. The iterative intra-donor phylogenetic analysis was based on an implementation of neighbor-joining (NJ) method. Collapsed branches are indicated by Collapse {N: M}, in which N is the branch depth (number of intermediate nodes) and M is the number of sequences within the branch. All sequences are on the PGT137 branch except for 174091, which is somatically related to PGT136.
