Characterization of the genome of baboon cytomegalovirus strain (OCOM4-37) isolated from the olive baboon, Papio cynocephalus anubis
Abstract
Scope and Method of Study: Molecular Biology of Herpesviruses Findings and Conclusions: This project involved cloning, sequencing, and analyzing the genome of baboon cytomegalovirus (BaCMV) strain OCOM4-37. After isolation, cloning and sequencing the coding sequence of the BaCMV genome, comparisons were made with other CMV genomes. These analyses showed that the OCOM4-37 strain is most closely related to CMVs isolated from primates most closely related to baboons.
