FIG. 3.

Genome structure and size comparison of selected members from the four families within the order Mononegavirales. Genome size (in nucleotides) is given in parentheses for each virus. The sizes are relative to that of the Ebola virus. Only genes coding for major structural proteins are shown, using the following functional grouping: nucleocapsid proteins (solid box), proteins associated with RNA polymerase and/or ribonucleoprotein complex (shaded box), matrix proteins (hatched box), and membrane proteins (open box). See the Fig. 1 legend for GenBank accession numbers.
