Figure 1. STLPyV is a novel polyomavirus.

Figure 1

(A) Diagram of STLPyV genome based on strain GA138. Positions of the two reads obtained from the initial 454 pyrosequencing of DNA generated by MDA of purified virus particles from the index Malawian case are indicated in white. Predicted open reading frames of STLPyV are shown in grey. (B) Diversity plots of nucleotide sequences are shown between STLPyV GA138 and STLPyV WD972 (blue). Their closest relatives MWPyV MA095 (red) and MWPyV WD976 (orange) are included as reference. The proportion of DNA sequence difference is indicated (0.1 = 10%).
