Analysis of the Genome of Equine Herpesvirus Type 1: Arrangement of Cleavage Sites for Restriction Endonucleases EcoRI, BglII and BamHI Whalley, J. Millar and Robertson, Graham R. and Davison, Andrew J.,, 57, 307-323 (1981), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/0022-1317-57-2-307, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 0022-1317, abstract= SUMMARY The genome of an Australian isolate of equine herpesvirus type 1 (equine abortion virus) has been analysed using the restriction endonucleases EcoRI, BglII and BamHI, and a physical map constructed. Terminal fragments were identified by exonuclease treatments, and linkage of fragments was deduced by a combination of single- and double-digest experiments and cross-blot hybridizations. The genome has a mol. wt. of 100 × 106 and is comprised of a short unique region bounded by repetitive sequences, which is present in both orientations in approximately equal amounts in the DNA population, and a long unique region existing in only one orientation., language=, type=
