a: The H5N2 viral genome is composed of 4603 amino acid residues divided into 11 viral proteins. The size of each segment is indicated by the number of residues as shown
b: Unique amino acid residues are identified by comparing the consensus sequences between the two studied subgroups. Numbers shown are the counts of the characteristic residues in each viral protein. The variations in each viral protein are expressed by the percentage of unique residues indicated in the parentheses
