Gene or accession: vir-1
Missed gene
Comments: We have identified a previously unrecognized transcript of CG31764.
The transcript is strongly induced by virus infection in adult flies, and was
named vir-1 (virus-induced RNA 1). The cDNA was cloned by RACE-PCR and
sequenced, and the transcription start-site was determined by S1 nuclease
mapping. The work is described in a paper in press in Nature Immunology. The
sequence of the vir-1 cDNA is:
