Abstract

Two-dimensional fingerprinting of RNase T1-derived oligonucleotides of the two individual RNA segments of the Nodavirus black beetle virus indicates that each RNA species possesses a distinct nucleotide sequence. Species 1 RNA has a genome complexity of approximately 3,000 nucleotides, and species 2 RNA is composed of approximately 1,500 nucleotides. Submolar amounts of oligonucleotides apparently derived from a third virus-specific RNA were also detected in black beetle virus RNA preparations.
