From: HTLV-1 contains a high CG dinucleotide content and is susceptible to the host antiviral protein ZAP

Fig. 2

Delta retroviruses have a higher a CG content. a ρ statistic of each dinucleotide within the human genome, shown independently for some chromosomes. b The same analysis is shown for HIV-1, HIV-2 (lentiviruses), HTLV-1, HTLV-2 (delta retroviruses), JEV, and Ebola (previously reported to be ZAP targets). c CG dinucleotide content is shown for several retroviruses grouped by families. d ρ statistic of each dinucleotide within retroviruses and viruses reported to be ZAP targets. Proportion of CG-dinucleotides in a 200-nucleotide window in viral (HIV-1: e, HTLV-1: f) and a random sequence. Below each graph, individual proviral sequences are shown, wherein black lines represent a CG di-nucleotide
