Journal ArticleDOI

Analyses of pig genomes provide insight into porcine demography and evolution

Martien A. M. Groenen, +141 more
- 15 Nov 2012 - 
TL;DR: The assembly and analysis of the genome sequence of a female domestic Duroc pig and a comparison with the genomes of wild and domestic pigs from Europe and Asia reveal a deep phylogenetic split between European and Asian wild boars ∼1 million years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus comparison: divergent evolution on two continents.

TL;DR: The presence of substantial variations across the entire genome and in sgmRNA processing indicates that PRRSV has evolved independently on separate continents, and suggests that changes in swine husbandry and management may have contributed to the emergence of PRRS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of the structural protein coding sequences of the VR-2332 and Lelystad virus strains of the PRRS virus.

TL;DR: Hydropathy profiles indicate that the ORFs of VR-2332 and Lelystad virus correspond structurally despite significant sequence differences, consistent with the biological similarities but distinct serological properties of North American and European isolates of the virus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel structural protein in porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus encoded by an alternative ORF5 present in all arteriviruses

TL;DR: A 51 aa polypeptide was discovered that is encoded by an alternative ORF of the subgenomic mRNA encoding the major envelope glycoprotein, GP5, and which is incorporated into virions of PRRSV, suggesting that this ORF5a protein plays a significant role in arterivirology.
