Abstract excerpt
TT virus (TTV) has a remarkable genetic heterogeneity. To study TTV evolution, phylogenetic analyses were performed on 739 DNA sequences mapping in the N22 region of ORF1. Analysis of neighbor-joining consensus trees shows significant differences between DNA and protein phylogeny. Median joining networks phylogenetic clustering indicates that DNA sequence analysis is biased by homoplasy (i.e., genetic variability...
