Abstract excerpt
We describe comparative sequence analysis of 20 isolates of the recently discovered hepatitis G virus (HGV) and propose a model of the RNA secondary structure at the 3' end of the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of this virus. A single AUG starting at nucleotide position 552, which was in-frame and continuous with the putative polyprotein, was conserved in all 20 isolates and appeared to be the most likely site for...
