From: Molecular characterization of two hantavirus strains from different rattus species in Singapore
Nucleotide sequence identity by SimPlot comparison. SimPlot analysis of selected hantavirus genes encoding the nucleocapsid protein. The nucleotide sequences were analyzed in a window of 200 nucleotides and steps of 20 nucleotides. The complete open reading frames of the Singaporean hantavirus strain Jurong TJK/06 (This study) were chosen as query and Seoul SR11 (M34881), Hantaan virus (AB027111), Dobrava-Belgrade (L41916), Seoul Singapore (This study) and Thailand virus (AM397664) as references. SimPlot comparison of the partial sequences of the Serang virus (AM998808) and Cambodian strains (AJ427511) are shown in dark green and yellow curves in addition to the above sequences. Before analysis these two sequences were truncated at the 5' and 3' ends into a 486 nt overlapping region of the Serang virus and the Camb117 and Camb132 strains and compared against the corresponding Jurong TJK/06 cDNA sequence.
