Abstract excerpt
A simple and practical method was developed for pestivirus genotyping based on analysis of the secondary structures in the 5'-untranslated region (UTR). Three stable stem-loop structures, V1, V2 and V3, predicted by computer in the 5'-UTR, included strictly conserved consensus base-pairings which are shared by all the genotypes of pestivirus or are characteristic to each genotype of pestivirus. On the basis of...
