The short unique region of the B95-8 Epstein-Barr virus genome.
The 12-kbp short unique region of the B95-8 Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome has been sequenced and analysed for latent and lytic cycle transcripts. Two latent and three late mRNAs have been detected, the largest of the late transcripts potentially encoding a 143-kDa protein. The region containing oriP, the putative origin of replication of the genome as a plasmid in latently infected B lymphocytes, is shown to contain 21 direct repeats of a 30-bp A+T-rich sequence and a related large inverted repeat.
