Sequence alignment and analysis

The percent sequence identity for available aviadenovirus whole genomes are given in Table 1. Strain HBQ12 and BJH13 were almost identical (99.7%) at the nucleotide level and they showed the highest sequence homology (95.8%) with strain A-2A (FAdV-D, Accession No. AF083975) isolated in the US at nucleotide level. Whereas they showed a low sequence identity (<72.9%) with the members of other aviadenovirus species. JSJ13 strain was more matched to the KR-5 strain (FAdV-C) isolated in Japan (Accession No. HE608152, 98.4% of identity at the nucleotide level). Sequence identities between JSJ 13 and other species ranged from 54.3% (between JSJ13 and FAdV-A) to 56.4% (between JSJ13 and FAdV-E).
