[i] Gene blocks are regions where the order of genes is conserved of which seven are present in all Herpesviridae genomes (A-G).

[ii] Conserved sequence regions where sequence homology was clearly detected. These corresponded to a single contigous sequence motif in all cases except for DNA polymerase, in which three different motifs were conserved.

[iii] Function as derived from GenBank annotations.

[iv] Functional classes: Rep (replication), Nuc (nucleotide metabolism and DNA repair), Str (structural), Trf (transcription), Gly (glycoprotein), Oth (other), Unk (unknown).
