Evolution and Diversity of the Human Hepatitis D Virus Genome

Figure 2

Profiling of nucleotide identities of 43 HDV isolates. The vertical-axis represents percentage nucleotide identity and the horizontal-axis displays the whole viral genome sequence as the relative length of 1800 nucleotides due to the alignment. The ribozyme (Rz) in the genome and antigenome is indicated by the green or blue box, respectively. The relative genomic position of the the HDAg-coding sequence is also shown (red arrow-bar).
