Simon White's CroEM work has discovered that the major capsid in some of our genomes is made with 2 genes - a major capsid pentamer protein and a major capsid hexamer protein in Rosebush (Cluster B2). Cluster DC genome have the same hexamer protein and a homolog of the pentamer protein. Examples are:
Wizard gp 19 - major capsid hexamer protein
Wizard gp 20 - major capsid pentamer protein
