Genome Sequence of Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Strain McKrae
9 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
The herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) strain McKrae is highly virulent compared to other wild-type strains of HSV-1. To help us better understand the genetic determinants that lead to differences in the pathogenicity of McKrae and other HSV-1 strains, we sequenced its genome. Comparing the sequence of McKrae's genome to that of strain 17 revealed that the genomes differ by at least 752 single nucleotide...
