Additional file 7: of Metagenomic analysis of viruses associated with maize lethal necrosis in Kenya

Figure S3. Partial nucleotide sequence alignment of Kenya samples in group 1, 2 and 3 relative to the Ohio isolate of SCMV (JX188385.1). The coat protein detected in the original description of maize lethal necrosis in Kenya was used for comparison (JX286708.1) [6]. Alignment was generate using MAFFT. NIb and coat protein coding sequences are color coded blue and red, respectively. Coordinates are based on the Ohio isolate (JX188385.1). In group 1 no nucleotide insertions or deletions were observed. Nucleotide substitutions resulted in amino acid substitutions. Group two, had a 39 nt deletion (8487 to 8525) that resulted in an in-frame deletion of 13 amino acids. Group 3, had low similarity and a 45 nt deletion between nt 8487 to 8676 that resulted in a 15-amino acid deletion. (PDF 256 kb)
