FIG. 1 The neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree constructed based on HBV full-length genomes of almost all complete genomes of subgenotype A strains available in GenBank (A1, A2, quasi subgenotype A3, A4 and tentative A7). The numbers represent the bootstrap value (1000 replicates) in the main nodes. HBV genotype C was used as an out-group. HBV genotype A1 and A2 strains were collapsed. As illustrated, tentative HBV subgenotype A7 clustered within HBV quasi-subgenotype A3 branch.
