Abstract
Protein sequence comparison has revealed an analogue of the HSV glycoprotein B in the EBV genome. Another region of the EBV genome has apparently arisen by tandem gene duplication. Weak transcription enhancers have been detected in EBV and more mRNAs have been mapped. Some of the latent cycle mRNAs have exons derived from both the short and long unique regions.
