Fig. 4. Amino acid sequence comparison between a potential ORF identified in the T7-derived sequence of plasmid C16238 and the major dbp of various herpesviruses. An asterisk indicates an amino acid difference compared to the predicted sequence of the stealth virus. Amino acid numbers are shown at the end of each line.
