| nucleotide sequence of the s rna of lassa virus (nigerian strain) and comparative analysis of arenavirus gene products. | the nucleotide sequence of the small (s) genomic rna of lassa virus (strain ga391, of nigerian origin) has been determined. the rna has features which conform to those seen in most other arenavirus s rnas which have been characterised, including conserved terminal sequences, an ambisense arrangement of the coding regions for the precursor glycoprotein (gpc) and nucleocapsid (n) proteins and an intergenic region capable of forming a base-paired "hairpin" structure. comparison of the nucleotide se ... | 1991 | 2042397 |
