Pfu
polymerase (Takara, Dalian) were performed
according to the manufacturer’ s protocol. For PCR
amplification, PCR reaction mixtures was followed by
1 cycle for pre-denaturing 5 min at 95 , 30 cycles for
amplification reaction at 94 for 30 sec, 58 (for S1
and S2 fragment) or 52 (for F2
F3
F4a
F4b and
F5 fragment) for 30 sec, 72 for 1 min (for S1 and
S2) or 3 min (for F2
F3
F4a
F4b and F5), and 1
cycle for final extension at 72
for 10 min. The PCR
products were purified from agarose gel electroph-
oresis and sequenced directly by ABI-PRIS MTM
377XL DNA Sequencer in two companies, Sangon
Biotech (Shanghai) and Taihe Biotech (Beijing).
3.3 Sequence and phylogenetic analysis
FMDV reference sequences were online acquired
from the GenBank database of National Center for
Biotechnology Information (NCBI, http://www.ncbi.
nlm.nih.gov). The sequence data were assembled
using the program Assemble (Vector NTI 8.0 suite,
InforMax, North Bethesda, MD). Multiple sequence
alignments were performed by ClustalX multiple
sequence alignment program, version 1.83 (Thompson
et al., 1997). The phylogenetic tree was constructed by
neighbor-joining method in MEGA version 3.1 (Kumar
et al., 2004) and the reliability of the branching orders
was evaluated using the bootstrap test (n=1000).
Author contributions
XAG developed the laboratory protocols, sequenced the
genomes for the FMDV sequencing project, conducted the
phylogenetic analysis and wrote the paper. LE and YYQ
collected the clinical isolates, selected the subset for
sequencing, MHS prepared the viral RNA. ZMW and SCH
performed laboratory assurance and animal experimental test.
LDF managed development of bioinformatics software for
assembly. LHC and XAG contributed to overall project
management.
