  1. rLASV/IGR-CD acquires multiple mutations in late passages in vitro
  2. Table showing the proportion (percent of total reads) of non-synonymous mutations in the samples. A value of 100 indicates that all reads had the mutated allele at the specified position, and 0 indicates that no mutated alleles were seen at the indicated position in those samples.
  3. *GPC glycoprotein precursor, IGR intergenic region, L large protein, NP nucleoprotein, P passage, R replicate, UTR untranslated region, Z zinc-binding protein.
  4. aCG to C mutation at position 6862 (L segment) indicates a single nucleotide deletion.
