Measles Virus MF-NCR Phylogenetic Profiles for Genotypes B3, D4, D8, H1

A 2026 study by Matteo Fracella provides phylogenetic analysis of the measles virus MF-non-coding region across genotypes B3, D4, D8, and H1. The data, shared as a PDF, details sequence variability and evolutionary divergence estimates for these genotypes collected across different locations and periods before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic clustering analysis based on MF-NCR sequence variability mentioned in the description
• Comparing evolutionary divergence across measles virus genotypes B3, D4, D8, and H1
• Investigating links between non-coding region variability and viral characteristics like cytopathogenicity

Strengths

• Provides specific variability percentages for genotypes: D8 (47%), B3 (31.8%), H1 (29%), D4 (13.4%)
• Includes estimates of average evolutionary divergences (3% for D8/B3/H1, 1% for D4)
• Analysis covers four major measles genotypes across different locations and collection periods

Limitations

• Dataset is a 185.5 KB PDF; the underlying sequence data is not directly provided in a machine-readable format
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the publication
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for computational analysis
