Complete Genome Sequence of a Novel Human Betapapillomavirus Isolated from a Skin Sample

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT We report the genetic characterization of a new papillomavirus (HPV_MTS1) isolated and fully cloned from a skin swab. The L1 open reading frame of HPV_MTS1 was 85% identical to its closest human papillomavirus (HPV) type 80, which belongs to the species beta-2 of the genus Betapapillomavirus , hence qualifying it as a new HPV type.
