  • - This genome features a long open reading frame that encodes a polyprotein consisting of 3,392 amino acids.
  • - When compared to another strain (DEN-1 Singapore S275/90), there is a high level of sequence similarity, with 94% nucleotide and 97.8% amino acid homology.

Article Abstract

We have determined the complete nucleotide sequence and the deduced amino acid polypeptide sequence of the genome of a dengue-1 (DEN-1) virus strain isolated from a patient on Nauru in the Western Pacific in 1974 (West Pac 74). The complete genome is 10,735 nucleotides in length and contains a single long open reading frame of 10,176 nucleotides encoding a polyprotein of 3392 amino acids. When compared to DEN-1 Singapore S275/90, the nucleotide and amino acid sequence homology are 94% and 97.8%, respectively.

Average nucleotide identity (ANI) is a widely used metric to estimate genetic relatedness, especially in microbial species delineation. While ANI calculation has been well optimized for bacteria and closely related viral genomes, accurate estimation of ANI below 80%, particularly in large reference data sets, has been challenging due to a lack of accurate and scalable methods. To bridge this gap, we introduce MANIAC, an efficient computational pipeline optimized for estimating ANI and alignment fraction (AF) in viral genomes with divergence around ANI of 70%.

We have recently demonstrated a novel anaerobic NADH-dependent haem breakdown reaction, which is carried out by a range of haemoproteins. The Yersinia enterocolitica protein, HemS, is the focus of further research presented in the current paper. Using conventional experimental methods, bioinformatics, and energy landscape theory (ELT), we provide new insight into the mechanism of the novel breakdown process.
