Graphic summary of inter-subtype recombination patterns within HIV-1 gag-protease from West and East Africa. Consensus sequence patterns of recombinants circulating within different countries in West Africa. The number of sequences identified showing a particular recombination pattern are indicated in brackets on the Y- axis, while the nucleotide position is shown on the X- axis. Missing sequence data is shown in yellow. Gene lengths and breakpoints were drawn according to the HXB2 numbering system. Black arrows show the most prevalent inter-subtype breakpoint in West Africa
