Alternative ATG repeat start

  1. Short tandem repeats (STRs) are described using nucleotide base-pair coordinates with reference to the high-quality genome (HQG) sequence (ENA Accession #OX044336). Listed are the number of repeat units, description of the sequence (with n = number of repeats for this particular genome), identification of the nearest annotated orthologous poxvirus gene (OPG), type of LCR (STR or homopolymer), position of the LCR to the nearest gene, and distance of the LCR to the nearest gene. OPG notations follow the standardized nomenclature32; vaccinia virus (VACV) Copenhagen strain and classical VACV gene notations are shown in addition to enable comparisons. NA not applicable.
  2. anucleotide base coordinate in reference HQG (Genbank #OX044336).
  3. bnucleotide base coordinate in reference HQG (Genbank #OX044336).
  4. cnumber of repeat units in the HQG (Genbank #OX044336).
  5. ddescription of the pattern of the LCR in representative MPXV, in which n is the number of repeats for this particular genome.
  6. eidentification according to Senkevich et al. of nearest identified gene; new notation.
  7. ftype of LCR: short tandem repeats or homopolymer.
  8. gposition of the LCR to the nearest gene.
  9. hdistance of the LCR to the nearest gene.
  10. inotation of the gene in the VACV Copenhagen strain.
  11. jnotation of the gene in the VACV Western Reserve strain.
