The complete genome sequence of a novel megrivirus of the family Picornaviridae was determined from nucleic acid extracted from a pool of six faecal specimens of Adélie penguins. The samples were collected near Bellingshausen Station, King George Island of the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. Penguin megrivirus is the first megrivirus with a predicted L protein. It has an L-3-5-4 genome layout, a type IV IRES, and a long 3' untranslated region of 668 nt.
从来自于南极南设得兰群岛乔治王岛贝尔宁豪森站附近的 6 份企鹅粪便样本中提取的核酸中,测定了一种新型微 RNA 病毒科微 RNA 病毒的全基因组序列。企鹅微 RNA 病毒是首个具有预测 L 蛋白的微 RNA 病毒。它具有 L-3-5-4 基因组结构、IV 型 IRES 和 668nt 的长 3'非翻译区。
