Recombination analysis of Taiwan GI.3 norovirus. (a) Bootscan analysis of recombinant GI.3 norovirus using RDP software version 4.0. Bootscan evidence for the recombination event is based on pairwise distance. (b) SimPlot analysis using the recombinant GI.Pd-GI.3 virus (GI.Pd-GI.3 2018-TW2904) as the query sequence and making use of a sliding window of 200 bp with a step size of 20 bp. The Kimura 2-parameter model is applied. The y-axis shows the percentage of similarity between the selected sequences and the query sequence.
