Comparisons between the porcine gammaherpesvirus and other known gammaherpesviruses were made using the NCBI's Blast 2 sequences program (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gorf/bl2.html) using the blastp option. The following sequences and their accession numbers were obtained from the Entrez-Protein database: Alcelaphine herpesvirus-1,AAC58059.1; equine herpesvirus-2, AAC13795.1; rhesus rhadinovirus H26-95, AAC58686.1; Ateline herpesvirus-3, AAC95532.1; human herpesvirus-8, AAC57085.1; human herpesvirus-4, NP_039909.1; bovine herpesvirus-4, CAA78761.1.
