Called variants in HIV-1 clinical data by ICC

Days post infection	Reads	Variable sites		Reduction in variable sites (%)
		Raw data	After ICC
29	5508	197	31	84.26
49	8281	223	12	94.62
146	9959	258	27	89.53

Note: Pyrosequencing data were derived from a PCR amplicon from the HIV-1 gag gene from one infected individual at five time points over the first 14 months of infection. Variable sites correspond to aligned nucleotide positions with at least two different nucleotides.
