Phylogenetic analysis of LTR consensus sequences. Nucleotide consensus sequences generated for each Platyrrhini ERV-W LTR subgroup (“*”) were analyzed employing the NJ method and the Kimura-2-parameter model applying pairwise deletion. The LTR subgroup consensus generated for Catarrhini ERV-W (“**”) [14] and RepBase reference sequences for other class I ERV groups were also included. Phylogeny was tested employing the bootstrap method with 1000 replicates. The length of branches indicates numbers of substitutions per site. A multiple sequence alignment of consensus sequences of Platyrrhini ERV-W LTR subgroups and the RepBase reference sequence is depicted below the tree, with nucleotide substitutions represented by coloured vertical lines
