  1. HPV gene copy numbers are per diploid genome. E2/E6 ratio values were calculated from the qPCR readings for E2 and E6 and rounded to the nearest two decimal places. The only samples in which HPV16 physical state could be inferred with confidence are marked by asterisks in the right hand column.
