Fig. 1, Translated and aligned FASTA file of RIG-I sequences in species of interest. We obtained Homo sapien RIG-I sequence through UniProt, then performed TBLASTN searches on NCBI and ENSEMBL against Rodentia, using Homo sapien as a reference. We then chose species that were located in our habitats of interest (North America and Asia) with the lowest e-values. The coding sequences were compiled together and given headers with the pattern "> common name | scientific name | North America and/or Asia | NCBI or ENSEMBL | accession number" for organization. This was exported onto AliView, translated as amino acids, aligned using MUSCLE, then saved as a FASTA file.
