Figure 1

Nucleotide sequence alignment of the variable region in the 3´ noncoding region of dengue virus type 1 strains, including NIID04-27 sequenced in the present study. The Mochizuki strain was used as the consensus sequence, and the sequence of 100 nucleotides immediately downstream of the open reading frame termination codon is shown at the top. Solid dots indicate nucleotides identical to the consensus sequence and hyphens indicate deletions.
