Appendix 3

The "Search For 1918 Virus Sections In Sars-Cov-2 genomes" table below is grouped by search results int the "Genome Locations v1918:Sars" column.

The "Row#" column is the number of the row in the SQL database which the genome (one genome per row) came from. The "Sars Bases Size" column is the length of the Sars genome that was searched.

The "GenBank File Id" column data is a unique description (like a social security number, etc.) that is used to identify individual genomes.

The "Sars Size" column is the length of the Sars-Cov-2 genome.

The "Locations of v1918:Sars" column shows the locations in the genomes of three "finds" during the search. Three 1918 Virus segments in the 1918 Virus genomes are shown, as well as where those three segments are located in the Sars virus genome. The two numbers (the two locations) are separated by a colon (":"). Thus, "350:28702" means that the 1918 virus segment beginning at location 350 was found in the Sars genome at location 28702. Likewise, "480:1789" means that the 1918 virus segment beginning at location 480 was found in the Sars genome at location 1789, and so forth.

The "Sars-CoV Information" column is an inordinate description of the genome. They are not consistent because there is no rigid format in the different countries for describing the context. The country is usually specified or can be discerned by comparison when it is not specified directly.
