Abstract excerpt
The central variable region (CVR) of the African swine fever virus (ASFV) genome is contained within the 9-RL open reading frame (ORF). ORF 9-RL of the ASFV isolate Malawi Lil-20/1 predicts a protein of 614 amino acids with amino- and carboxy-terminal hydrophobic regions and a centrally located hydrophilic region. The CVR of the genome, located centrally within this ORF, is 372 bp and contains a 132-bp direct...
