Variable positions along functional sites in the fusion protein showing nucleotide substitution compared with LaSota KU665482.1 vaccine strain as reference. Not all substitution resulted in mutation because of degeneracy nature of amino acid. Italic positions show substitution site. Reference strain. Vaccine strain. Study isolates. HR: heptad repeats; A: adenine; G: guanine; C: cytosine; T: thymine.
