Supplementary Figure. FP9 deletion 2 in the inverted terminal repeats (ITRs). Only the left ITR is illustrated. Comparison of FP9 (top) and FPVUS (bottom), drawn to scale (as illustrated by scale bar). A solid, black, horizontal line indicates unfeatured genomic sequence. Cross-hatched boxes represent the repeat region in each virus. Blue and green boxes illustrate ORFs 001 and 002, respectively. Those raised above the sequence line are transcribed from left to right, those below the sequence line are transcribed from right to left. Dashed red lines indicate sequence deleted or otherwise absent from either virus, relative to the other. Vertical dotted tramlines illustrate the 18 bp penetration of deletion 2 into the repeat region.
