Phylogenetical analysis - Splitstree Phylogenetical analysis evolution - not always is a branching tree-like process different phylogenetical signals in real data not always fitting into a unique tree Splitstree Splitstree – a tree-like network visualizing conflicting phylogenies Kasia Bo ż ek AREVIR Bonn 24.04.2008

V3 loop sequence space analysis R5/ NSI: X4/ SI: conserved diverse forming clusters placed in distant parts of sequence space slow disease progression disease immune component of the V3 loop evolutionary pattern? R5/ NSI sequences under purifying selection of the immune system? Kasia Bo ż ek AREVIR Bonn 24.04.2008
