Type Species |
(BmDNV) |
The ssDNA genome is about 5 kb in size. Populations of virions encapsidate equal amounts of positive and negative strands. ORFs for both the structural and NS proteins are located on the same strand. There is apparently one mRNA promoter upstream of each ORF. There is a small ORF on the complementary strand of unknown function. The DNA has an inverted terminal repeat of 225 nts, the first 175 nts are palindromic but do not form a T-shaped structure when folded.
