A new method for the classification of retroviruses is presented. The scheme is based on the length and sequence of a DNA transcript of the 5' end of the genome. The method can be used to detect similarities between distantly related viruses as well as to discriminate between very closely related viruses. The method is applied to viruses isolated from mice, baboons, gibbons, a woolly monkey and chickens.
提出了一种逆转录病毒分类的新方法。该方案基于基因组5'端DNA转录本的长度和序列。该方法可用于检测远亲病毒之间的相似性，也可用于区分亲缘关系非常近的病毒。该方法应用于从小鼠、狒狒、长臂猿、绒毛猴和鸡中分离出的病毒。
