Transformation of a single-nucleotide frequency file to a consensus sequence at a prevalence cutoff of 10%. (A) Example of a nucleotide frequency file providing the nucleotide counts for the first three positions in a viral genome. (B) Table of prevalence ratios in which observations with ratios of at least 10% are shown in red. The corresponding motif logo in which the height of individual nucleotides reflects their prevalence is shown below. (C) Consensus sequence constructed for a prevalence cutoff of 10%. Ambiguous positions are encoded according to IUPAC nomenclature.
