title: Sequence analysis and in vitro transcription of portions of the Epstein-Barr virus genome.
abstract: The 17,180 base-pair Eco-RI-C fragment of Epstein-Barr virus has been sequenced in its entirety. This same fragment has also been analyzed for RNA polymerase II promoters, which are active in a soluble in vitro assay. These data are compared to the availability of predicted open reading frames and potential nucleotide signals associated with transcription. In addition, the DNA sequence of a number of previously undetected repeated DNA sequences from this and several nearby regions of the viral genome are reported.
