Pairwise comparisons (E-values) between the candidate viroporins analyzed in the current study. Comparisons were conducted with the blasptp algorithm [55], using default values, whereby the protein in the column was used as a reference. A “-” sign designates that the program was unable to find a significant similarity between the sequences, while a black cell indicates self-similarity. See Table 1 for complete names of proteins and accession numbers.
