Ambisense segment 3 of rice stripe virus: the first instance of a virus containing two ambisense segments Kakutani, Tetsuji and Hayano, Yuriko and Hayashi, Takaharu and Minobe, Yuzo,, 72, 465-468 (1991), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/0022-1317-72-2-465, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 0022-1317, abstract= The complete nucleotide sequence of rice stripe virus (RSV) segment 3 shows that it has two open reading frames, one in the viral-complementary sequence, which codes for the nucleocapsid protein, and the other in the viral-sense sequence. The non-coding region between the ambisense genes in RSV segment 3 contains several U and A tracts, as do the ambisense S segments of phleboviruses and uukuviruses. As we have previously shown that RSV segment 4 has an ambisense nature, this is the first instance of a virus containing two ambisense segments., language=, type=
