The nucleotide sequence of the 5' terminus of vesicular stomatitis virus RNA.

RESUMO

We have determined the nucleotide sequence for the first 50 nucleotides at the 5' terminus of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) genome RNA. This sequence is identical to that of the in vitro RNA polymerase product synthesized by defective interfering (DI) particles of VSV. These results confirm previous conclusions rengarding DI and standard viral terminal sequences based on hybridization studies and earlier sequencing of the DI polymerase product RNA.
