Identification of a novel Gammapartitivirus associated with endophytic Fusarium oxysporum through transcriptome dataset mining
摘要
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatic analysis have made identifying viruses from transcriptome datasets in the public domain more popular. Here, we have identified the coding-complete genome sequence of a novel dsRNA mycovirus of the genus, Gammapartitivirus from an endophytic Fusarium oxysporum for which the name, Fusarium oxysporum partitivirus 2 is proposed. It has a bisgmented, monocistronic genome with 1742 bp long dsRNA 1 and 1421 bp long dsRNA 2. The dsRNA1 and dsRNA2 contain a single open reading frame (ORF) coding for the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of 536 amino acids and the coat protein of 419 amino acids, respectively. This is the first report of a fungal virus identified by the transcriptome data mining of Fusarium oxysporum from India.
