Table 3 Predicted ORFs in the sequence inserted into ORF 32 and their highest BlastX matches. Nucleotide numbering is from the 5' end of the insertion sequence; nucleotide 8685 corresponds to nucleotide 14790 in the BJ1 genomic sequence. The sequence at the site of insertion was tgctcggtcgtcaa/CGACGCCGACGACGGCGA; lower case variant, upper case BJ1 ORF 32. Orfs are in the forward direction with respect to the virus genome unless indicated by a - sign. * indicates a truncated ORF because of incomplete sequencing (V10) or the insertion event itself (V1 and ORF32) aa indicates the number of amino acids.

From: Sequence analysis of an Archaeal virus isolated from a hypersaline lake in Inner Mongolia, China
