cDNA Cloning and Sequencing Full-Length Genome of Hepatitis E XT-179 Virus Strain Isolated in China
Abstract: A total of 7.2 kb of full-length genome of hepatitis E virus (HEV)XT-179 strain was cloned as cDNAs that isolated from a HE patient s fecal sample during an epidemic outbreak peak of Sept. 1990 in the East Xinjiang of China, and the complete nucleotide sequence has been determined. This strain have a genome length of 7194 nucleotides followed by a poly(A)tail. The nucleotide composition of the HEV genomic RNA is 17.0% A,31.9%C,26.0%G and 25.1%U,conferring an overall G+C content of 57.9%. There are mine res...
