We report here the complete genome sequence of a new strain of Tanay virus, isolate YN15_103_01, which was isolated from Anopheles sinensis mosquitoes caught in China. Sequence analysis showed that it shares a 79% nucleotide sequence identity with the only other previously reported strains of Tanay virus, which were isolated from the Philippines.

We have determined the complete nucleotide sequence of Xenopus laevis 28S rDNA (4110 bp). In order to locate evolutionarily conserved regions within rDNA, we compared the Xenopus 28S sequence to homologous rDNA sequences from yeast, Physarum, and E. coli. Numerous regions of sequence homology are dispersed throughout the entire length of rDNA from all four organisms. These conserved regions hav...

The nucleotide sequence of nifH, the structural gene for nitrogenase reductase (component II or Fe protein of nitrogenase) from the cyanobacterium Anabaena 7120 has been determined. Also reported are 194 bases of the 5'-flanking sequence and 170 bases of the 3'-flanking sequence. The predicted amino acid sequence was compared with that determined for the complete nitrogenase reductase of Clostr...

The nucleotide sequence of the translation initiation regions of 96 Saccharomyces cerevisiae mRNAs was compiled and compared. The entire 5' untranslated sequence of most mRNAs is very rich in A-residues. G-residues are underrepresented in the untranslated region. The AUG startcodon context appeared to be distinctly different from that of animal mRNAs, although an A-residue at -3 also occurs ver...
