Abstract:SummaryTombusviridaeis a large family of single-stranded, positive-sense RNA plant viruses with uncapped, non-polyadenylated genomes encoding 5-7 open reading frames (ORFs). Previously, we discovered, by high-throughput sequencing of maize and teosinte RNA, a novel genome of a virus we call Maize-associated tombusvirus (MaTV). Here we determined the precise termini of the MaTV genome by using 5’ and 3’ rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). In GenBank, we discovered eleven other nearly complete viral genomes… Show more
