High-resolution deep sequencing reveals biodiversity, population structure, and persistence of HIV-1 quasispecies within host ecosystems

Table 1 Calculated and estimated biodiversity defined by operational taxonomic units (OTUs)

^a Patient identification.
^b Biodiversity, expressed as operational taxonomic units (OTU), was calculated from rarefaction curves or estimated by abundance-based estimator (ACE) using ESPRIT software [25] when sequences were clustered at 0% (unique), 3%, or 10% distance.
