Fig. 3. HTLV-1 survival versus distance from the centromere.
The HTLV-1 clone survival index CSIHTLV − 1 [defined as Ln(Fin vivo/Fin vitro), the natural logarithm of the ratio between HTLV-1 in vivo and HTLV-1 in vitro site frequencies] is significantly negatively correlated with the absolute genomic distance from the centromere in both the short and long arms of the chromosomes (Pearson’s correlation test).
