Supplemental Figure 5 Fig. 5.
Fifty-seven genotypes in nine genoclouds of subgroup III. Genoclouds are indicated by boxed large numbers from 1 to 9, flanked by descriptions of where the genoclouds were isolated. The ancestral sequences found in subgroups IV-1 and IV-2 are shown at the top, and subsequent changes are shown next to the arrows that indicate lines of descent. The nine primary genotypes are indicated by medium-sized print next to each genocloud designation, and rare genotypes are indicated by "--" plus small print. Numbers in parentheses indicate the number of isolates. Intermediate strains that were not assigned to genoclouds are shown along the arrows between genoclouds 3 and 5 and between genoclouds 3 and 8.
