Clustal Omega dendrogram predications generated from the alignments of protein sequences of common laboratory strains of LCMV. The LCMV genome consists of the S and L segments. The S segment encodes the glycoprotein (GP) and the nucleoprotein (NP) and the L segment encodes the L protein (RNA polymerase) and the Z protein. Protein sequences for commonly used laboratory strains LCMV-Armstrong 53b, Clone13, Traub, UBC, WE, Aggressive and Docile were aligned using Clustal Omega and dendrograms generated from the alignments. Sequences were obtained from Genbank® and accession numbers used for alignment are indicated. Note, there was no sequence available for the NP of LCMV-WE. The identity between the alignments is as follows; GP: 90.361%, NP: 94.086%, L protein: 81.315%, Z protein: 78.889%.
