Molecular and evolutionary analysis of a gene conserved in most Orthopoxviruses

Evidence is presented to show that variola and monkeypox viruses evolved independently from a common ancestor. An open reading frame (ORF), potentially coding for a protein of 341 amino acid residues, was found to be conserved in two strains of variola virus (Harvey and Somalia), but degenerate in t...
