The positions in the genome of BA71 and BA71V of the sequences affected are indicated along with the number of repeats involved in the variation, and the identity of the genomic feature affected by the change. The size of the region not present in either of the genomes is indicated in brackets. In the case of difference 33, the highly variable central region located in ORF B602L, 4 of the 29 repeats of 12 nucleotides that compose this region have different sequence but there is no variation in the number of nucleotides.
