| phylogenetic analysis of the dna polymerase gene of a novel alphaherpesvirus isolated from an indian gyps vulture. | the dna polymerase gene of a novel herpesvirus, vulture herpesvirus (vhv), isolated from an indian gyps vulture was completely sequenced using primer walking and transposon insertion strategies. dna sequencing analysis revealed a single open reading frame (orf) of 3660 nucleotides (53% g-c content) able to encode 1219 amino acids. identification was based on a nucleotide sequence identity of approximately 50% to other herpesvirus sequences found in genbank. nine motifs were identified that are c ... | 2005 | 15830156 |
