Figure 1
A graphical representation of the amino-acid conservation of the nucleoprotein NP among the members of the Filoviridae. The top graph shows the amino-acid identity level among the five subtypes of EBOV, while the bottom graph shows a comparison of all seven NPs, including MARV and LLOV. The colors denote the identity level: from 100% (green) to 0% (red). The center shows a schematic alignment of the sequences with possible sites of deletions (—|—) and insertions (—). Identical residues are shown as color bands running through all sequences. The figure was prepared using Geneious (https://www.geneious.com
