Abstract

The complete 7410 nucleotide sequence of poliovirus type I genome was obtained from cloned cDNA. Double-stranded poliovirus cDNA was synthesized and inserted into the Pst I site of plasmid pBR322, and three clones were derived that together provided DNA copies of the entire poliovirus genome. Two of the clones contained inserts of 2.5 and 6.5 kilobases and represented all but the 5' 115 bases of poliovirus RNA. A third clone was generated from primer-extended DNA and contained sequences from the 5' end of the viral RNA. An open reading frame that was identified in the nucleotide sequence starting 743 bases from the 5' end of the RNA and extending to a termination codon 71 bases from the 3' end contained known poliovirus polypeptide sequence.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
