a, b: Partition-wise matching of norovirus characteristic residues: (3a): Wheel representation of the 10 partitions P1–P10 showing partition-wise matches for the aligned input target sequence (norovirus "Seacroft"; NCBI accession no. AJ277620). Single letter codes of input target sequence residues that match the characteristic residues in the norovirus database are shown within square brackets for partitions P1–P7. For each partition P1–P6, all sequence groups Gn, where n represents letter combinations, are color coded within parentheses outside the wheel. Of these, sequence groups that match the database characteristic residues are shown in black. Details about the remaining partitions are available with the authors. Symbols Pn+ indicates that all characteristic residues of the previous partition "n" are also included in the current partition. (3b): Detailed partition-wise mapping characteristic residue locations of aligned target sequence (norovirus "Seacroft"; NCBI accession no. AJ277620) on to reference Norwalk virus (PDB ID: 1IHM) sequence. The last residue in each line is numbered and every tenth residue is marked using the symbol. The symbols , , , and map all of such residues from partitions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively of Fig. 2a where these symbols are shown near the edge of each partition.
