Figure 3
Schematic representation of MERS-CoV coding regions and putative recombinant regions detected in the KOR002 strain.
The protein coding regions of MERS-CoV genome (a) were represented together with the putative recombinant regions of KOR002 strain (b) detected by the RDP method36 using the complete genome sequences of 70 MERS-CoV strains. Phylogenetic relationships of MERS-CoV complete genomes were reconstructed according to each recombinant region. The trees of recombinant regions I (c), II (d) and III (e) were represented with the same color annotations in the Fig. 1. The tip of the Korean strain (KOR002) was denoted with the red color and asterisk. The tip of a parental strain of KOR002 identified (Table 1) was indicated with an arrow.
