LaboratoryInfluenza virus A whole genome [Nucleotide sequence] in Isolate by Sequencing
Definition
The Influenza A virus genome is contained on eight RNA segments. Segments 1-3 encode RNA polymerase subunits (segment 1 - PB2, segment 2 - PB1 and the PB1-F2 protein and segment 3 - PA). Segment 4 encodes for hemagglutinin (HA). HA is a determinant in the severity of a viral infection. Segment 5 encodes a nucleoprotein (NP) Segment 6 encodes neuraminidase (NA) Segment 7 encodes two matrix proteins (M1 and M2) Segment 8 encodes two distinct non-structural proteins (NS1 and NEP) Segments that encode multiple proteins due so by using different reading frames from the same RNA segment. [PMID: 19230160The result of this test is the raw amino acid sequence of the virus.
