Comparison of the G ORFs of all ‘Jeilongviruses’. The G ORFs of the seven known ‘Jeilongviruses’ show a remarkable variation in size, and all of them are larger than those of other paramyxoviruses. The dashed red line marks the average size of a paramyxovirus G ORF. The G ORFs of Tupaia paramyxovirus (TPMV) and Fer-de-lance virus (FDLV) are included to illustrate both the exceptional size of the ‘Jeilongvirus’ G ORFs and their mutual variation, as these two viruses have the largest and smallest G ORFs of all non-‘Jeilongvirus’ paramyxoviruses, respectively. The light blue extensions indicate the complete size of the BeiPV, TlmPV and JPV G genes, including the X ORFs
