Complete Genome Sequence of the Grouper Iridovirus and Comparison of Genomic Organization with Those of Other Iridoviruses
29 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
The complete DNA sequence of grouper iridovirus (GIV) was determined using a whole-genome shotgun approach on virion DNA. The circular form genome was 139,793 bp in length with a 49% G + C content. It contained 120 predicted open reading frames (ORFs) with coding capacities ranging from 62 to 1,268 amino acids. A total of 21% (25 of 120) of GIV ORFs are conserved in the other five sequenced iridovirus genomes,...
