title: The 3'-terminal nucleotide sequences of adenovirus types 2 and 5 DNA.
abstract: Short nucleotide sequences at the 3'-termini of adenovirus types 2 and 5 DNA have been determined using T4 DNA polymerase as described by P. T. Englund (1972). The terminal sequences of both serotypes appear to be completely identical. Both molecular ends of type 2 as well as of type 5 DNA terminate with the sequence ...pCpC...pGpApTpG3', consistent with the presence of an inverted terminal repetition in adenovirus DNA.
