Features of the whole genome and the different protein sequences of NDV-2K3 and NDV2.

The Indian isolates FJ986192 and GU187941 have been compared with the sequences of standard strains (used in different publications) of Genotype I to XI.
Note:
• The whole genome comparison included from positions 67 to 15143 for strains of Genotype I to Genotype IV and 67 to 15148 for strains from Genotype IV (Herts/33) to Genotype IX as the leader and the trailer regions of Genotype XI (HQ266603) was not available.
• 6 nucleotide insertion in the 5′ UTR of Nucleoprotein of Genotypes V to XI and hence the genome size is 15192.
• The amino acids encoded by the matrix gene in all strains are 364 except for Herts /33 (380 aa). The amino acids encoded by the HN gene is 571 in all isolates except Lasota and Beaudette-C (577 aa) and Ulster (616 aa).
• The percentage divergence between Indian strains FJ986192 and GU187941 is shown within brackets. Percentage amino acid divergence is shown for the different coding regions. The lesser divergence in the different coding regions of FJ986192 and GU187941 with Herts/33 and Italien (bold faced) is shown.
• Whole genome and trailer region of FJ986192 and GU187941also reveals greater identity with Herts/33 and Italien than the other genotypes.
