Complete Genomic Sequence of the Transmissible Gastroenteritis Virus

We have sequenced the gene 1 of TGEV Purdue-115 strain. This completes the TGEV genome sequence, which is 28579 nucleotide-long plus the poly(A) tail. TGEV is the fourth coronavirus to be completely sequenced after IBV1, MHV2,3,4 and HCV 229E5, and the second of a genetic subset which includes FIPV, CCV, HCV 229E and PEDV.
