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

Phylogenetic analysis data tracking the non-coding region between the matrix and fusion protein genes of measles virus. The study characterizes the MF-NCR of four prevalent genotypes (B3, D4, D8, H1) across different locations and collection periods. The dataset, authored by Matteo Fracella and last updated in May 2026, is a 200.4 KB PDF containing results from maximum likelihood and genetic distance calculations.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic clustering analysis based on the MF-NCR sequences described.
• Comparing genetic variability across measles virus genotypes B3, D4, D8, and H1.
• Investigating evolutionary dynamics based on average evolutionary divergence estimates.
• Analyzing intermixing patterns across different locations and collection years.

Strengths

• Analysis includes four prevalent measles virus genotypes (B3, D4, D8, H1).
• Provides specific variability percentages for each genotype's MF-NCR (e.g., D8 at 47%).
• Estimates average evolutionary divergences (e.g., 3% for D8, B3, H1 vs 1% for D4).

Limitations

• Dataset is a 200.4 KB PDF; underlying sequence data is not directly provided in a structured format.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown.
• Data may reflect temporal bias from samples collected before the COVID-19 pandemic.
