Nucleotide and (predicted amino acid) sequence identity levels within and between the two hMPV genetic clusters

hMPV clusters	% of nucleotide and (amino acid) identity
	N	P	M	F
1/1	93.8–99.8	91.0–99.9	94.1–99.9	94.3–99.9
	(99.3–100)	(95.0–100)	(98.8–100)	(98.3–99.8)
2/2	94.5–100	93.3–100	94.1–100	94.4–100
	(98.3–100)	(94.6–100)	(99.6–100)	(98.9–100)
1/2	85.3–86.1	78.0–79.4	83.5–85.6	83.0–83.6
	(94.2–95.9)	(81.6–85.7)	(96.9–97.6)	(94.1–95.4)

The results represent the range of identity (%) obtained for the comparison of the most divergent to the most conserved sequences within and between each genetic clusters.
