From: Identification and characterization of ERV-W-like sequences in Platyrrhini species provides new insights into the evolutionary history of ERV-W in primates

Time of integration of ERV-W sequences in Platyrrhini primates. In panel A, time periods of colonization for each Platyrrhini ERV-W subgroup as well as the sequences not clustering in any supported subgroup (“others”) were estimated through nucleotide divergence using a neutral substitution rate (see Material and Methods). In panel B, Platyrrhini genera including species analyzed in this manuscript are indicated in red, while other Platyrrhini genera with evidence of ERV-W sequences but lacking genome reference assemblies are indicated in blue. Phylogenetic relationships and estimated time periods of separation of evolutionary lineages are indicated (in millions of years ago, as derived from [16, 17]
