I think it's an excellent idea: I have a number of graphics, including
replication strategy of Bromoviridae (about to appear in 6th Report of
ICTV) which could be of value. In addition I have any number of
phylogenies, including coat protein and 3'-UTR trees for all known
sequenced potyviruses, coat protein/ movement protein /replicase phylogeny
for Bromo- and related viridae (NOT appearing in 6th Rep ICTV - hidebound
conservatives, grumble grumble), replication-associated protein phylogeny
for picorna- and -like viruses, and "module linkage diagrams" which
purport to explain the "cassette assemblage" concept of plus-strand
RNA virus evolution.
Anyone else got computer-friendly graphics, etc, for this sort of co-
operative venture?
