a

Percentage of base calls generated from full-length tiled sequences.

b

BLAST score (bit score) obtained after BLAST query on a local viral and bacterial database using the consensus sequence determination strategy with m (minimum nucleotide length) = 12 and N (maximum undetermined nucleotide content) = 10. Default BLAST parameters, except for the minimum word length (7 nt), the expect threshold (increased from the default of 10 to 100,000), and the low complexity level filter (−F) turned off. All of the BLAST scores indicate correct identification at the species or isolate level (i.e., unique best hit corresponds to the expected species or isolate).

c

Percentage of nucleotides correctly identified, compared to the sequence obtained after classical sequencing of the corresponding Lyssavirus species tested.

d

NA, not applicable.

e

Tentative species.
