Complete genome sequence of a reference stock of simian immunodeficiency virus RNA (SIVmac251/32H/L28) determined by deep sequencing

Abstract

A reference preparation for simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) RNA nucleic acid assays was characterized by complete genome deep sequencing. The entire coding sequence and flanking long terminal repeats, including minority species, were determined. This information will inform SIV research investigations and aid evaluation and development of amplification assays for SIV RNA quantification.
