Figure 2.
Genome annotation of the low-passage HCMV strain Merlin (GenBank accession NC_006273). The dsDNA genome is visualized as a single line; nucleotide positions are given in bps. Terminal and internal repeat regions (TRL, IRL/IRS and TRS) are indicated with white boxes. Arrows represent genes; different gene families are designated with different color codes, as illustrated below the genome. The four large non-coding RNAs and the origin of lytic replication are also represented.
