title: Continuity of the dsRNA genome of bluetongue virus.
abstract: The duplex RNA genome of bluetongue virus, extracted under acidic conditions with sodium dodecyl sulfate and phenol, is an unfragmented continuous structure. Most genomes appeared as a rosette with 10 loops (genes) emanating from a central crescent- or doughnutshaped area. The genome has a mean length of ca. 10 μm which corresponds to a molecular weight of ca. 23 million.
