Genomic-length maximum-likelihood phylogeny of HBV genotype C sequences. Well-defined clades have been highlighted with coloured dotted lines and reference sequences for each clade indicated (red dots). The proposed reference strain for the genotype, GQ377617, is highlighted with a blue dot. The subgenotype is given where it could be reliably identified. Bootstrap support for branches ≥70 after 1000 replicates is indicated. The scale bar indicates the estimated nucleotide substitutions per site. We were unable to verify the subgenotype of two genotype C clades, and these have been designated unassigned clades 1 and 2 [unassigned_C (1) and unassigned_C (2), respectively].
