Proposed Orthohepevirus A subtype reference sequences
Reference sequences for subtypes of Orthohepvirus A have been proposed in Smith, D.B., Izopet J., Nicot F., Simmonds P., Jameel S., Meng X-J., Norder H., Okamoto H., van der Poel W.H.M., Reuter G. and Purdy M.A. (2020, J. Gen. Virol, 101:692-698) which includes the following table. This is an update of the propsals of Smith, D. B., Simmonds, P., Izopet, J., Oliveira-Filho, E. F., Ulrich, R. G., Johne, R., Koenig, M., Jameel, S., Harrison, T. J., Meng X-J., Okamoto H., van der Poel W.H.M. and Purdy M.A. (2016). Proposed reference sequences for Hepatitis E virus subtypes. J Gen Virol. 97: 537-542
Sequence alignment of these reference sequences available at the bottom of this page and here.
