Correction of an obvious error in the genomic sequence combines ORF-18 and ORF-19 to one single ORF. The amino terminus was extended by the translation of a short leader sequence that was shown to be spliced ahead of the original ORF-18 [13].

154
FadV-9-ORF32985-32509 CFA40-ORF7552-7262
new conserved ORF, is translation of the original ORF-21 in a different frame

a ORF-numbering in accordance to Chiocca et al. [4]b coordinates in the genomic sequence of CELO (acc.no. NC_001720) c ORFs are named by their coordinates in the following nucleic acid sequences: NC_000899 (FAdV-9), AF155911 (CFA40) and AF160185 (FAdV-10). FAdV-10-ORF1814-1637 is derived from entry AF006739, CFA40-ORF3306-2729 from entry U40587. EST-ORF-9 is the translation of an EST sequence (BM491231) of a chicken EST library.
