“…The sequencing results were further confirmed by checking the specificity of the sequence using blast analysis. The previously published tams1 gene sequences from the three continents Asia, Africa and Europe were used for calculating the phylogenetic relationship between the strains using MEGA7 software (Wang et al, 2014). Accession number of the sequences that were used U222888.1 (Ankara), Z48739.1 (Ankara), GU130193.1 (Iraq: Kurdistan), AF214819.1 (Mauritania), JX683683.1 (Gansu: China), AF214911.1 (Turkey: Ankara), AF214872.1 (Tunisia: Northern), AY672541.1 (Iran), EU563912.1 (China: Xinjiang), AF214828.1 (Portugal), AF214860.1 (Italy: Northern Sicily), AF214812.1 (Spain: Cáceres), EF618726.1 (India: Chennai), EF618728.1 (India: Chennai), JX648210.1 (South India: Tamil Nadu), AF214840.1 (India: Hissar), AF214891.1 (Tunisia: Northern), AF214861.1 (Italy: Northern Sicily), AF214908.1 (Turkey: Ankara), AF214806.1 (Spain: Cáceres), AF214797.1 (Bahrain), GU130190.1 (Iraq:Kurdistan region), AB690863.1 (Srilanka: Polonnaruwa), GU130192.1 (Iraq: Kurdistan region), EF092918.1 (Iran: Qazvin Boein Zahra).…”
