Abstract excerpt

African Swine fever virus (ASFV) genome is a large (170-190 kb) double-stranded DNA molecule with structural features similar to those of Poxviruses. Prominent among those features are the presence of a hairpin loop structure at the end of the DNA molecule and terminal-inverted repeats (TIR). The...
