2004 NOV 20 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The genome of human adenovirus serotype 1 was sequenced and annotated.
"The 36,001 base pair DNA sequence of human adenovirus serotype 1 (HAdV-1) has been determined, using a 'leveraged primer sequencing strategy' to generate high quality sequences economically.
"This annotated genome (GenBank AF534906) confirms anticipated similarity to closely related species C (formerly subgroup), human adenoviruses HAdV-2 and -5, and near identity with earlier reports of sequences representing parts of the HAdV-1 genome," scientists writing in the Journal of General Virology report.
"A first round of HAdV-1 ...
