REGA HIV-1 Subtying Classification Rules:


1. Decision Tree for sequences longer than 800 bp:



Rule 1A: PURE
Subtype assigned based on sequence > 800 bps, clustering with a pure subtype with bootstrap > 70% without recombination in the bootscan, and do not clustering with a CRF with bootstrap >70 %.

Rule 1B: PURE
Subtype assigned based on sequence > 800 bps, clustering with a pure subtype with bootstrap > 70% without recombination in the bootscan,  clustering with a CRF with bootstrap >70 % however  not clustering inside the CRF cluster.

Rule 1C: PURE (CRF)
Subtype assigned based on sequence > 800 bps, clustering with a pure subtype with bootstrap > 70% without recombination in the bootscan,  clustering with a CRF with bootstrap >70 % and clustering inside the pure subtype cluster.

Rule 2: check the bootscan
Subtype unassigned based on sequence > 800bp, clustering with a pure subtype with bootstrap >70 %, with detection of recombination in the pure subtype bootscan, and failure to classify as a CRFs (bootstrap support).

Rule 3: check the bootscan
Subtype unassigned based on sequence > 800bp, clustering with a pure subtype and CRF with bootstrap >70 %, with detection of recombination in the pure subtype bootscan, and failure to classify as a CRFs (bootscan support).

Rule 4: CRF
Subtype assigned based on sequence > 800bp, clustering with a CRF with bootstrap > 70%,with detection of recombination in the pure subtype bootscan, and further confirmed as a CRF by bootscan analysis.

Rule 5: check the report
Subtype unassigned based on sequence > 800bp, do not clustering with a pure subtype with bootstrap >70 %, with no detection of recombination in the pure subtype bootscan.

Rule 6: check the bootscan
Subtype unassigned based on sequence > 800bp, do not clustering with a pure subtype or CRF with bootstrap >70 %, with detection of recombination.

Rule 7: check the bootscan
Subtype unassigned based on sequence > 800bp, clustering with a CRF with bootstrap > 70%,with detection of recombination in the pure subtype bootscan, and failure to classify as a CRFs (bootscan support).

Rule 8: CRF
Subtype assigned based on sequence > 800bp, clustering with a CRF with bootstrap > 70%,with detection of recombination in the pure subtype bootscan, and further confirmed by CRF by bootscan analysis.

Rule 11: Pure
Subtype assigned based on sequence < 800bp, clustering with a pure subtype with bootstrap > 70%, and clustering inside the pure subtype cluster
