Human Polyomaviruses in Skin Diseases

Table 1

Comparison of the coding regions of the human polyomaviruses. The numbers refer to the number of amino acid residues, except for the genome size, which is indicated in base pairs (bp). Absent means that a putative ORF for the protein is lacking at the corresponding site in the genome. ELP: early leader protein; ORF: open reading frame.
