Week 4 Assignment

Purpose

  • To determine if HIV in 15 injection drug subjects derives from a common source.

Methods and Results

  • Activity 2 Part 1 and 2 from Exploring HIV evolution: An opportunity for research.

Activity 2

Part 1

  • Table 1: Caption
  1. Sketch your distance tree on paper so that you can make notes on it.
  2. Do the clones from each subject cluster together?
  3. Do some subjects' clones show more diversity than others?
  4. Do some of the subjects cluster together?
  5. Write a brief description of your tree and how you interpret the clustering pattern with respect to the similarities and potential evolutionary relationships between subjects' HIV sequences.
  6. Copy and paste your tree from the Biology Workbench to share.
