Fig. 1From: Minimum InDel pattern analysis of the Zika virusConsensus amino acid sequence alignments and minInDel positions for Zika virus (ZIKV) types and Dengue virus (DENV) types. a A conventional method for multiple sequence alignment with gaps resulting in an increase in the length of the consensus sequence to 3427 amino acid residues. b A minimum InDel (minInDel) method for reducing the ambiguity of highly weighted gaps in parts a and b (boxed) of the upper panel, thereby resulting in an unweighted consensus sequence that has a maximum length of 3425 amino acid residues for the viral polyproteins. The unique minInDel position in the envelope E protein shared by ZIKV type I and DENV types is enlarged belowBack to article page
