Overview of HML10 group colonization of primate lineages. Boxplot representations of HML10 group period of entry in primate lineages. The estimated age (in million years) was calculated considering the divergence values between i) the 5′ and 3′ LTRs of the same provirus; ii) each LTR and a generated consensus; iii) gag, pol and env genes and a generated consensus. The approximate period of evolutionarily separation of the different primate species are also indicated and have been retrieved from Steiper et al. 2006 [70] and Perelman et al. 2011 [71]. Boxes represent the main period of HML10 group diffusion in primates based on the different approaches of calculation, including from 25 to 75 percentiles and showing the mean value as a blue dash. Whiskers indicate the minimum and maximum estimated age
