Sequence determination and phylogenetic analysis of the Akabane bunyavirus S RNA genome segment.
1 Nov 1997
Abstract excerpt
The nucleotide sequence of the small (S) RNA segment of Akabane (AKA) bunyavirus was determined. The segment is 858 nucleotides long and contains two overlapping open reading frames (ORFs), which encode the nucleocapsid (N) and nonstructural (NSs) proteins, consistent with other bunyaviruses. Comparisons with the Aino virus S RNA sequence indicated that there is 73.5% identity in nucleotide sequence. However, the...
