Arrangement of repetitive sequences in the genome of herpesvirus Sylvilagus.

چکیده
Herpesvirus sylvilagus is a lymphotropic (type gamma) herpesvirus of cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus). Analysis of virion DNA of herpesvirus sylvilagus has revealed that the genome consists of one stretch of about 120 kilobase pairs of internal, unique DNA flanked by a variable number of 553-base-pair tandem repeats. The G + C content of the repetitive DNA is extremely high (83%), as determined by sequencing. The organization of the herpesvirus sylvilagus genome is, therefore, similar to that of the primate lymphotropic viruses herpesvirus saimiri and herpesvirus ateles.

Genome structure of cottontail rabbit herpesvirus.
The genome structure of a herpesvirus isolated from primary cultures of kidney cells from the cottontail rabbit Sylvilagus floridanus was elucidated by using electron microscopy and restriction enzyme analysis. The genome, which was about 150 kilobase pairs long and which had an average G + C composition of 45%, consisted of two regions with unique base sequences (54 and 47 kilobase pairs) encl...
متن کاملFinding Exact and Solo LTR-Retrotransposons in Biological Sequences Using SVM
Finding repetitive subsequences in genome is a challengeable problem in bioinformatics research area. A lot of approaches have been proposed to solve the problem, which could be divided to library base and de novo methods. The library base methods use predetermined repetitive genome’s subsequences, where library-less methods attempt to discover repetitive subsequences by analytical approach...
متن کاملeneral Interspersion of Repetitive with Non-repetitive Sequence Elements in the DNA of Xemggts
,The arrangement of repetitive and non-repetitive sequences was studied in the DNA of Xenopus. Labeled DNA sheared to various fragment lengths was reassociated to C,t 50 (SO’C, O-18 M-Na+) with excess 450 nucleotide fragments of unlabeled DNA, and binding of the labeled DNA to hydroxyapatite was measured. Repetitive sequences monitored in this way are present on about 45% of the 450 nucleotide ...
متن کاملComplete, annotated sequence of the pseudorabies virus genome.
We have obtained the complete DNA sequence of pseudorabies virus (PRV), an alphaherpesvirus also known as Aujeszky's disease virus or suid herpesvirus 1, using sequence fragments derived from six different strains (Kaplan, Becker, Rice, Indiana-Funkhauser, NIA-3, and TNL). The assembled PRV genome sequence comprises 143,461 nucleotides. As expected, it matches the predicted gene arrangement, ge...
متن کاملMining Biological Repetitive Sequences Using Support Vector Machines and Fuzzy SVM
Structural repetitive subsequences are most important portion of biological sequences, which play crucial roles on corresponding sequence’s fold and functionality. Biggest class of the repetitive subsequences is “Transposable Elements” which has its own sub-classes upon contexts’ structures. Many researches have been performed to criticality determine the structure and function of repetitiv...
