Nucleotide position corresponds to accession no. X17403, except ORF 11, which corresponds to X33331. Kozak, presence or absence of a Kozak translational initiation motif; AA, length in amino acids of the protein that could be encoded by an ORF; N-BDGF, normalized BDGF score; CCMV, RhCMV, and MCMV, presence or absence of orthologues to the predicted HCMV ORF in the genome of the chimpanzee, rhesus, and murine cytomegalovirus, respectively.
