Phylogenetic analysis of ERV1–1 Gag, Pol and Env puteins. ERV1–1 puteins, labeled with an empty triangle, were obtained by identification and conceptual translation of Marmoset ERV1–1 proviral consensus sequence Open Reading Frames (see methods). The other Gammaretroviral putein sequences were retrieved from Vargiu et al. 2016 [38]. HERV-W puteins are marked with a filled triangle. The evolutionary relationships were inferred by using the ML method based on the Poisson model. Phylogenies were tested by using the bootstrap method with 100 replicates each: the obtained bootstrap values are reported near each node (bootstrap values lower than 30% are not shown). Length of branches indicates the number of substitutions per site
