Complete nucleotide sequence of the virus SSV1 of the archaebacterium Sulfolobus shibatae

Virology. 1991 Nov;185(1):242-50. doi: 10.1016/0042-6822(91)90771-3.

Abstract

The DNA sequence of the Sulfolobus shibatae virus SSV1 is the first complete sequence of an archaebacterial virus genome. The viral DNA is a closed double-stranded DNA circle of 15465 bp. The features of the sequence, the positions of all 11 transcripts, the three characterized proteins, and the open reading frames are described.
