The phylogenetic tree of the 5’ LTR HERV-E sequences reveals three main subgroups: LTR2, LTR2B and LTR2C. Phylogenetic analyses were inferred using the Maximum Parsimony Methods on the ClustalW Multiple alignment of 46 HERV-E 5’LTR nucleotide sequences. The most parsimonious tree is shown; it shows that the 46 HERV-E LTRs are segregated into 3 distinct subgroups. Bootstrap values greater than 50% are shown. The 5’ HERV-E LTR sequences are identified with their respective human chromosomal locus location (See Experimental Section plus Table 1). When known, the gene used for alternative transcript usage is reported.
