The<i>BFRF1</i>Gene of Epstein-Barr Virus Encodes a Novel Protein
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
Computer analysis of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome indicates there are approximately 100 open reading frames (ORFs). Thus far about 30 EBV genes divided into the categories latent and lytic have been identified. The BamHI F region of EBV is abundantly transcribed during lytic replication. This region is highly conserved among herpesviruses, thus suggesting that some common function could be retained in the...
