Maximum likelihood tree of the HIV-1 subtype C pol sequences (~ 1000 nucleotides) isolated in Brazil from treatment naïve individuals from 2008 to 2017 (n = 340) and closely related sequences from databases (total n = 1194). Multiple sequence alignments were performed using MAFFT v7.309 removing columns containing at least 10% gaps. Branch colors indicate the geographical origin of the sequences. Most subtype C sequences isolated from patients in Brazil are monophyletic (SH-like branch support 0.94) suggesting one single major founder event. Gray boxes indicate the positions of strongly supported clades (SH-aLRT ≥ 0.95). The branch lengths are drawn to scale with the bar at the bottom indicating nucleotide substitutions per site. Tree was rooted using HIV-1 subtype A1 reference sequences (black branches).
