Abstract excerpt
Duck circovirus (DuCV) has a small, single-stranded circular DNA genome of approximately 1.99 kb. Through a genome sequence analysis using the dottup program, we found that a quadruple tandem repeat sequence (QTR) in the intergenic region between the rep and cap genes of the DuCV genome, but not in other circoviruses. The QTR was also substantially different and evolutionarily conserved in the genotype 1 and 2...
