“…Multiple independent clones reveal identical sequences of the IGR for P2 and P18 as have previously been reported [51]. All in all, we believe that we have successfully assembled the consensus sequence for the full-length S segments of P2 and P18 strains that only show minor sequence variations from those that have been published previously [51]. The P2 S segments differ at 17 positions (81, 135, 187, 405, 471, 567, 699, 1014, 1158, 1206, 1242, 1365, 2466, 2712, 3222, 3374, 3398), whereas the P18 S segments differ at 5 positions (1336, 1713, 1860, 3236, 3387) from the published sequences [51].…”
