Sequences in human cytomegalovirus which hybridize with the avian retrovirus oncogene v-myc are G + C rich and do not hybridize with the human c-myc gene.
The degree of relatedness between previously identified cross-hybridizing regions within human cytomegalovirus strain AD169 and the avian retrovirus oncogene v-myc were investigated by nucleotide sequence comparison. We found that the homologous regions between the human cytomegalovirus genome and v-myc are limited to short G + C-rich regions in each genome and that the human cytomegalovirus genome shares little or no homology with the human c-myc gene.
