Recombination breakpoint positions of each genotype and corresponding positions in the reference strain Lordsdale are reported.
based on NP-492_2.
original publication described the recombinant as GII.P6/GII.14 (GenBank accession number EF670650) but the Norovirus Genotyping Tool and phylogenetic analysis showed that it was closely related to GII.P7/GII.14.
