Genome sequence of two novel species of torque teno minivirus from the human oral cavity

Genome Announc. 2014 Sep 25;2(5):e00868-14. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00868-14.

Abstract

Anelloviridae is a family of circular, single-stranded DNA viruses highly prevalent among humans. We report the genome sequence of two torque teno miniviruses found in human oral mucosa samples. Genome organization, phylogenetic analysis, and pairwise comparisons reveal that they belong to novel species within the Betatorquevirus genus.
