alphadata: Alphaherpesvirinae virus genome sequence data

Description

A dataset consisting of whole genome sequences for viruses from the family Alphaherpesvirinae

Usage

data("alphadata")

Format

This dataset is a matrix of dimension 98x359883 that represents the sequences of 98 viral genomes from the subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae.

Details

This data includes whole genome sequences of viruses belonging to the subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae. Alphaherpesvirinae is a subfamily of the Herpesviridae family of viruses that cause diseases in humans and animals. The data is downloaded from ViPR, http://www.viprbrc.org, and are aligned using "MAFFT", see Katoh et a. (2013), and saved in "alphadata". Alphaherpesvirinae has five genera: Iltovirus (IIt), Mardivirus (Mar), Scutavirus, Simplexvirus (Sim), and Vari-cellovirus (Var). The viruses were collected from different hosts, namely, human, monkey, chicken, turkey, duck, cow, bat, equidae, boar, cat, amazona oratrix (denoted hum, mon, chi, tur, duc, cow, bat, equ, boa, cat, aor). The codes in the example show the labels.
