Analysis of the Highly Diverse Gene Borders in Ebola Virus Reveals a Distinct Mechanism of Transcriptional Regulation
21 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Ebola virus (EBOV) belongs to the group of nonsegmented negative-sense RNA viruses. The seven EBOV genes are separated by variable gene borders, including short (4- or 5-nucleotide) intergenic regions (IRs), a single long (144-nucleotide) IR, and gene overlaps, where the neighboring gene end and start signals share five conserved nucleotides. The unique structure of the gene overlaps and the presence...
