Dendritic heat map.

<p>Dendritic heat map representing the fifth mutation step of the simulated mutation lineage data generated as described in the methods and clustered using the average-linkage algorithm of the “bottom-up” method. The darkly colored wedge at the 0° position represents the minimum (red) and maximum (blue) possible heat map relative abundance bin responses, GC≤50% and GC>50% respectively. White space in the heat maps represents clusters with neutral bin response. Rings, starting at the center, represent clusters of sequences for identity cutoffs of 0.75 to 1.0. Clusters, including single-sequence clusters, are plotted in a radial range that is conserved from the clusters from which they were derived.
