^aThe numbers represent total number of NDV reads obtained from LAclust. A maximum of 200 reads (optional cut-off value) were used to generate full length consensus sequence. Minimum 5 reads were used as a cut-off to build consensus sequence
^bConsensus sequence identity to the reference sequence of NDV LaSota sequenced with MiSeq
(MH392212/chicken/USA/LaSota/1946)
Consensus sequences were BLAST searched against NDV custom database
Note: Only 28,000 out of total 60,000 reads were utilized for the analysis
