HIV-1 Integrase molecular phylogenetic analysis inferred by the maximum likelihood (ML) method. The ML phylogenetic tree inferred in RAxmL contains 91 patient sequences and HIV-1 reference sequences dataset from 2010 were acquired from HIV-1 LANL database. The evolutionary distances were computed using the general time reverse (GTR) model of nucleic acid substitution with an estimated Gamma shape parameter and invariant sites. The genetic distance is displayed in the scale bar at the bottom of the figure; while the majority of the sequences clusters with HIV-1 subtype C. 87 of the samples clustered with Subtype C reference strains (91.1%), five with Subtype B (5,6%) and one with Subtype A1 strains (1.1%).
