Figure 3. Phylogenetic trees resulting from the analysis of the DNA sequences of (a) PVC/CVC/OVC and (b) PVC gene families as shown in Figure 1.
The VARV-like CPXV clade marked in red is visible when using any of the gene sets. VARV, VACV, CMLV and MPXV represent collapsed clades containing data from all whole genome sequences available in GenBank. All displayed branches have a Chi2-statistic value of at least 0.99.
