rhabdodata: Rhabdoviridae virus genome sequence data

Description

This dataset consists of whole genome sequences of viruses from the Family Rhabdoviridae.

Usage

data("rhabdodata")

Format

The format of the data is a list with components $dat and $lab. The components dat includes a matrix of dimension 53x26035 that represents the sequences of 53 viral genomes from the family Rhabdoviridae. The component lab includes labels for each sample that include abbreviations of the relevant genus and viral host.

Details

This data includes whole genome sequences of viruses belonging to the subfamily Rhabdoviridae. Rhabdoviridae is a family of viruses with single-stranded RNA genomes that are able to infect a wide variety of hosts, both plants and animals. 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 "rhabdodata". Rhabdoviridae has twelve genera of which nine are repesented here: Cytorhabdovirus, Ephemerovirus, Novirhabdovirus, Nucleorhabdovirus, Perhabdovirus, Sigmavirus, Sprivivirus, Tibrovirus, and Tupavirus. The viruses were collected from different hosts, namely, Alfalfa, Cattle, Drosophila, Eel, Fish, Garlic, Midge, Mosquito, Eggplant, Taro, Trout, and Unknown.
