Figure 2

Selection of primers for the novel pancoronavirus RT-PCR. Shown is the alignment of 14 coronaviral sequences of a conserved region of the polymerase gene. The forward (Cor-FW) and reverse (Cor-RV) primer sequences are shown at the bottom (Y = C/T, W = A/T, V = A/C/G, R = A/G, H = A/T/C, N = A/C/T/G). The coordinates of Cor-FW and Cor-RV are 14017 and 14248, respectively, in the HCoV-NL63 complete genome sequence. The 14 coronavirus sequences used here are available from GenBank under the following accession numbers: HCoV-NL63, AY567487; HCoV-229E, AF304460; infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), Z30541; SARS-CoV, AY313906; HCoV-OC43, AY391777; PEDV, AF353511; bovine coronavirus (BCoV), AF391541; transmissible gastroenteritis virus, AF304460; MHV, X51939; PHEV, AF124988; sialodacryoadenitis virus (SDAV), AF124990; turkey coronavirus (TCoV), AF124991; canine respiratory coronavirus (CRCV), AY150273; feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV), AF124987.
