July 9th, 2008
Current study results from the report, 'Full genomic analysis of human rotavirus strain TB-Chen isolated in China,' have been published. "A G2P[4]/NSP4[A] rotavirus strain TB-Chen was isolated from a 2-year-old patient hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis in Kunming, China. The strain TB-Chen was demonstrated having group A-specific antigenicity, a 'short' (subgroup II) electropherotype," researchers in Kunming, People's Republic of China report.

Genomic comparison based on amino acid sequence identity and phylogenetic...
