Sequence homology among the coat proteins of gemini viruses |
|
| Authors: | J K Rao |
| Abstract: | The coat proteins of the gemini viruses - African cassava latent virus, tomato golden mosaic virus and maize streak virus - are shown to have reasonable to good amino acid sequence homology. It is suggested that the maize streak virus genome is ancestral and the bipartite genomes of the other viruses evolved from it. |
