I have a partial sequence of RdRp gene from Carrot Mottle Virus (CMoV, Umbravirus) and Carrot red leaf virus associated RNA virus (CtRLVaRNA, unassigned). They have 81% and 75% ID with database sequences from RdRp gene with 408 and 484bp respectively, in BLASTn and almost the same in BLASTx. I also find Myzus persicae as a new vector specie of these viruses. Can I report theis as a tentative new virus or as genetic diversity within a virus?
What kind of analysis are required to describe them?
Tayyib Its good you got this information. However, it would be wonderful to completely the characterize the genome and then report it. The data will become more authenticated and the information published will be of good value. Cheers and good luck with your work :)
Generally , most of the journals accept the complete Characterisation and Identification of an Virus isolate. Moreover the Carrot Mottle Virus genome size is 4.2 kb . Its not difficult to completely characterise and get an publication. Already one group from Germany have reported the complete characterisation of the Carrot Mottle Virus.

Thanks Faraz and Kiran.. But the problem is that I dont have the excess to those samples now. That was in USA and my junior there unfortunately lost them all.
