Figure 2. Alignment of viral protein 1 (VP1) amino acid sequence of bat rotavirus strain KE4852/07 from Kenya with cognate VP1 sequence of reference rotavirus A strain S2. The consensus line shows conserved amino acid residues and similar residues (indicated by +). The motif F region (27) is shaded.
