Genome sequence of the anterograde-spread-defective herpes simplex virus 1 strain MacIntyre
Genome announcements, 2014•Am Soc Microbiol
We used paired-end Illumina deep sequencing and de novo assembly to determine the
genome sequence of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) strain MacIntyre (aka McIntyre). The
MacIntyre strain originated from the brain of a patient with lethal HSV encephalitis and has a
unique limitation in its neuronal spread, moving solely in the retrograde direction.
