FIG. 5.

Alignment of two conserved ORF clusters in a variety of poxvirus genera. (a) Alignment of predicted ORFs from representative members from seven of the eight poxvirus genera. Two regions of the genome are shown, the orthologous region between YMTV027L and YMTV029L and the region between YMTV120L and YMTV121L. Orthologous ORFs share the same color. (b) Analysis of the region between YMTV027L/029L and YMTV120L/121L revealed two new conserved gene families. The proposed arrangements of these ORFs are shown, highlighting the arrangement of the two new gene families YMTV028.5L and YMTV120.5L.
