| complete sequence and genetic characterization of pigeon avian nephritis virus, a member of the family astroviridae. | in the current study, the complete genome sequence of a member of the family astroviridae isolated from pigeons was determined through genetic characterization and phylogeny analysis. the isolated genome sequence was proposed to be that of pigeon avian nephritis virus (anv), whose genome structure and characteristics were similar to previously reported avian astroviruses. the sequenced ssrna genome comprises 6928 nucleotides, excluding the poly(a) tail, and contains three open reading frames. ph ... | 2011 | 21618030 |
