Correlation between the structural content and the averaged number of binding domains for the remaining 7 viral species. a Each point represents a single genome, while x- and y-axes indicate its structural content and the number of protein binding domains divided by the averaged size of the genome, respectively. b Consensus profile obtained from the secondary structure profiles of all the ZIKV genomes. Regions considered double-stranded for the majority of ZIKV genomes have a propensity > 0, while a score < 0 identifies consensus single-stranded regions. The blue bars mark the top 3 regions of 500 nt with the highest count of protein binding motifs. The percentage represents the average sequence conservation of the nucleotides inside that region. c Consensus profile obtained from the secondary structure profiles of all the CHIKV genomes. Regions considered double-stranded for the majority of CHIKV genomes have a propensity > 0, while a score < 0 identifies consensus single-stranded regions. The blue bars mark the top 3 regions of 500 nt with the highest count of protein binding motifs. The percentage represents the average sequence conservation of the nucleotides inside that region
