The virus genome contained regions that might specify as yet unknown proteins.
Foreign genes can readily be inserted into the virus genome and expressed at high levels.
Virally coded protein subunits will self-assemble to form a capsid, in general requiring the presence of the virus genome.
All our evidence shows that the sequences from the virus genome in cell culture have contaminated human chronic fatigue syndrome and prostate cancer samples.
Whether a virus genome is positive-sense or negative-sense can be used as a basis for classifying viruses.
When the virus genome is inserted inside the host genome it is then able to transcribe its own viral genes.
The size of the virus genome is approximately 13,000 base pairs.
How would you know you had some alien virus genome in your genome?
The cucumber yellows virus genome was completely sequenced in 2003.
However, the virus genome is not fully eradicated.
