3.2 Genome analysis of SVV in China
Next, we sequenced the complete genome of the isolated SVV strain (CH-GX-01-2019: Accession No. MT457474). Our analysis revealed a 7303 bp sequence consisting of a long 5’-UTR of 668 bp, an ORF encoding a 2,181 amino acid polypeptide and a short 3’-UTR of 89 bp (Table S2).
We compared the similarity of the complete genomic nucleotide sequence of CH-GX-01-2019 with other isolates from across the globe. The similarities between CH-GX-01-2019 and 99 other complete sequences of SVV ranged from 93.3 - 98.9% (Table S3).
