Genome Sequences of Murine Pneumotropic Virus ( Polyomaviridae ) Detected in Wild House Mice (Mus musculus) [PDF]
Genome Announcements, 2016 ABSTRACT Using generic PCR, we identified a variant of murine pneumotropic virus (MptV) (family Polyomaviridae ) in 3 wild house mice ( Mus musculus ). The fully amplified and sequenced genomes display considerable differences from the MptV genomes published previously and enlighten
