Complete Genome Sequence of a Novel Chimpanzee Polyomavirus from a Western Common Chimpanzee
We report here the full-length genome sequence of a novel chimpanzee polyomavirus. Viral sequences were recovered from colon, bladder, and ureter tissue from a western common chimpanzee. The virus is genetically closely related to the human BK polyomavirus.
متن کاملGenome Sequence of a Central Chimpanzee-Associated Polyomavirus Related to BK and JC Polyomaviruses, Pan troglodytes troglodytes Polyomavirus 1
We amplified and sequenced the genome of a polyomavirus infecting a central chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes troglodytes). This virus, which is closely related to BK and JC polyomaviruses, may help shed a new light on these human pathogens' evolutionary history.
متن کاملA White Paper Advocating Complete Sequencing of the Genome of the Common Chimpanzee, Pan Troglodytes
The chimpanzee is our closest living relative. There are two species of chimps, the common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and the so-called “pygmy chimpanzee,” or bonobo (Pan paniscus). The common chimp has a wider geographic range, which traverses equatorial Africa, as well as a much larger population both in the wild and in captivity. The bonobo’s range is limited to a region of central Africa ...
متن کاملAmplification of a complete simian immunodeficiency virus genome from fecal RNA of a wild chimpanzee.
Current knowledge of the genetic diversity of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVcpz) infection of wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) is incomplete since few isolates, mostly from captive apes from Cameroon and Gabon, have been characterized; yet this information is critical for understanding the origins of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and the circumstances leading to the HIV-1 pa...
متن کاملSequencing the Chimpanzee Genome
Sequence of the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) genome should be a high priority. The chimpanzee genome sequence will have a major impact on our understanding of human disease, human evolution, and human population genetics. We propose that the first phase of a project to obtain chimpanzee sequence consist of 3-4X whole-genome shotgun coverage, with the sequence obtained from multiple individuals ...
