Fig. 1. Phylogenetic tree showing the relatedness of the hexon (A), penton (B) and fiber (C) sequences of adenoviruses of different serotypes. The tree was built based on the amino acid sequences of hexons of 45 human adenovirus serotypes and 5 simian adenovirus serotypes. The evolutionary distances were calculated based on the number of differences; they are given in as amino acid differences per sequence. Ad5, Ad26 and SAd25 are highlighted in red
