5' termini of Pichinde arenavirus S RNAs and mRNAs contain nontemplated nucleotides
1 May 1995
Abstract excerpt
Primer extension of Pichinde arenavirus purified virion RNA suggests that genomes have at least a single nontemplated base at the 5' end which is a G in all cDNA clones having one such single base. On the other hand, the predominant products of primer extension on total virus-infected-cell RNA are at positions -1 and -2. The primer extension product at position -2 is not represented in virion RNA, and neither of...
