Comparative genome organization of representative members from sixteen genera of the family Rhabdoviridae (Dietzgen et al., 2011; 2014, Walker et al., 2015). The five canonical structural protein genes (N, P, M, G and L) are shaded in different colors. Other genes including movement protein (MP), viroporin (VP) or viroporin-like protein (VPL) and unknown function protein genes are shaded in grey. Several overlapping and consecutive ORFs (>150 nt) within each transcriptional unit are also shown with dark color (see Walker et al., 2015). The 3′-leader (le) and 5′-trailer (tr) regions are not scaled. Virus names (abbreviation of the member of type species of genera) and Refseq numbers are shown. Asterisks indicate proposed genera.
