Hi All,
The frameshift should be in close proximity to the C-terminus of the G protein; the GN-GK one is simply too far away.
We probably should look at all the CZ4s and see if there is a consensus.

Depends on how humid the air is. Under vaccuum and with dessicant, months; under humid conditions, maybe a few days tops.

I think this has to be a minor tail protein; otherwise there won't be enough proteins to make up the tail tip.

Hi Dave,
Sounds like it to me.

Thanks!

Hi Veronique,
How long is the protein, and how many other minor tail proteins have you identified already?

It is OK to indicate on your coversheet which scoring matrix and spacing matrix you used, as long as you don't change it on a per gene basis. Z-score and final score should still be included with every gene.
Yes/no indicates if it is the best score or not, as compared to the other choices for that gene.

The capsid, scaffolding, and protease are fused into a single gene in the EEs and should be annotated as "major capsid and protease fusion protein"

Hi Sally,
I thought M23 was on the list already– go head and use it. and I don't think we can be more specific and use M23B without better data.

Best,
Welkin

As of April 2019, we have been unable to identify the major capsid protein, and so you do not need to include it in your annotation.

Hi Sally– Debbie and I spoke offline a bit, and we are going to amend the "RexA" only function. We try hard not to just use the protein names because students get stuck in the alphabet soup when there is no additional information (RecA and RexA are very different, no?)

So I've added a bit to the designations:

RexA family abortive infection protein
RexB family abortive infection protein

Thanks!
Welkin
