Fig. 3: 3370 bp deletion in U.S. state of Louisiana (LA).
From: Patterns of genomic deletions in monkeypox virus during the 2022 outbreak in the United States
a Percent of MPXV genomes sequenced from LA that contained the 3370 bp deletion (Deletion, orange) from July to December 2022. The total number of samples sequenced for each month are shown on the bars. Gray bars indicate absence of the 3370 bp deletion. b Phylogenetic analysis of MPXV sequences from LA, MPXV sequences sharing the 3370 bp deletion from other states, and MPXV containing similar deletions. Deletion sequences formed a monophyletic clade (orange branches) separate from LA sequences with no deletion (black branches) within MPXV clade IIb lineage B.1.3. Sequences are labeled with isolate names listed in Data S1 and S2 or GenBank accession numbers for reference sequences. US states are abbreviated as follows, LA Louisiana, FL Florida, GA Georgia, UT Utah, TX Texas. Scale bar indicates substitutions per site. Additional sample details can be found in Data S3.
