Everglades virus evolution: Genome sequence analysis of the envelope 1 protein reveals recent mutation and divergence in South Florida wetlands.

"sequences have been deposited in genbank with accession numbers mz579546 - mz579560 .; our data set included the e1 gene sequences of two previous samples obtained in 1963 from mahogany hammock in the everglades national park ( ) (ncbi genome accession number af075251) and in 2013 from the everglades national park (ncbi kr260737 1) for which the full genome was previously obtained and publicly available online.; mutations of relevance that number is the amino acid position of the protein where the mutation was mapped in the tree (b) mutations of interest are shown by green spheres on the e1 protein using the structural data available for the capsid e1 and e2 structure of the veev tc-83 strain (pdb id: 3j0c)."
