Figure 2From: Molecular characterization of the Great Lakes viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) isolate from USAAnalysis of the gene junctions and complementarities in the VHSV genome. A) Seven identified gene junctions of VHSV in the negative-sense of the genomic RNA are shown. 3'/N, junction of 3'-leader and nucleocapsid gene; N/P, junction of nucleocapsid and phosphoprotein gene; P/M, junction of phosphoprotein and matrix gene; M/G, junction of matrix and glycoprotein gene; G/NV, junction of glycoprotein and non-virion gene; NV/L, junction of non-virion and polymerase gene; L/5'-, junction of polymerase gene and 5' trailer. GE = Gene end; IG = Intergenic di-nucleotide; GS = Gene start. B)Complementarities of the 3'- and 5'-ends of the VHSV genome. The first 4 nucleotides of 3'-end are complementary to the 5'-end nucleotides of genomic RNA, except an additional uracil (U) residue at the 5'-terminal.Back to article page
