Introduction of structural and NS Asibi genes into the 17D backbone alters nucleotide diversity of IC-derived 17D-204 virus. (A) Structural chimeric viruses. (B and C) NS mutant viruses. The nucleotide diversity of IC-derived Asibi and 17D-204 viruses is statistically diverse in all genes except capsid and pre-membrane as determined by Mann-Whitney test. The nucleotide diversity of prME chimeric and NS2B-109 and NS4B-95 mutant viruses is statistically more diverse in multiple genes compared to IC-derived 17D-204 virus. The nucleotide diversity of prME chimeric virus was the only Asibi backbone virus that was statistically less diverse in multiple genes compared to IC-derived Asibi virus. Chimeric and mutant viruses were compared to parental IC-derived viruses using Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by Dunn’s comparison.
