Complete Genome Sequence of Early Passaged Human Herpesvirus 6A (GS Strain) Isolated from North America
نویسندگان
چکیده
The genome sequence of the original human herpesvirus 6A (HHV-6A) (GS isolate) has never been determined. DNA from a very low passage (<5 times) HHV-6A GS stock was isolated and sequenced, making it the first HHV-6A of U.S. origin to be fully sequenced. Such a sequence will be helpful for comparative analysis with other HHV-6A strains, including the U1102 strain isolated from Uganda.

Complete Genome Sequence of the Human Herpesvirus 6A Strain AJ from Africa Resembles Strain GS from North America
The genome sequence of human herpesvirus 6A (HHV-6A) strain AJ was determined in a comparison of target enrichment and long-range PCR using next-generation sequencing methodologies. The analyses show 85 predicted open reading frames (ORFs), conservation with sequenced HHV-6A reference strain U1102, and closest identity to the recently determined GS strain, despite different geographic origins (...
متن کاملCharacterization of transcripts expressed from human herpesvirus 6A strain GS immediate-early region B U16-U17 open reading frames.
Several gene fragments of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) have been shown to activate the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 long terminal repeat (LTR). An open reading frame (ORF) designated B701 (Y. Geng, B. Chandran, S. F. Josephs, and C. Wood, J. Virol. 66:1564-1570, 1992), found within a 22-kb HHV-6A strain GS [HHV-6A(GS)] genomic fragment and a 3.8-kb SalI subfragment, was shown to act...
متن کاملAnalyses of Tissue Culture Adaptation of Human Herpesvirus-6A by Whole Genome Deep Sequencing Redefines the Reference Sequence and Identifies Virus Entry Complex Changes
Tissue-culture adaptation of viruses can modulate infection. Laboratory passage and bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)mid cloning of human cytomegalovirus, HCMV, resulted in genomic deletions and rearrangements altering genes encoding the virus entry complex, which affected cellular tropism, virulence, and vaccine development. Here, we analyse these effects on the reference genome for relate...
متن کاملHuman herpesvirus 6B genome sequence: coding content and comparison with human herpesvirus 6A.
Human herpesvirus 6 variants A and B (HHV-6A and HHV-6B) are closely related viruses that can be readily distinguished by comparison of restriction endonuclease profiles and nucleotide sequences. The viruses are similar with respect to genomic and genetic organization, and their genomes cross-hybridize extensively, but they differ in biological and epidemiologic features. Differences include in...
