The nucleotide and amino acid positions refer to pED43.
GH ≥1 clone, genetic heterogeneity at the respective position found in at least one of the analyzed clones. The number and percentage (related to the respective genome region) of positions with genetic heterogeneity in the analyzed clones are shown. Defective genomes were not considered to reflect naturally occurring genetic heterogeneity and are not included in this analysis.
