Complete Genome Sequence of a New Strain of Rice yellow mottle virus from Malawi, Characterized by a Recombinant VPg Protein

ABSTRACT The complete sequence of the isolate Mw10 of Rice yellow mottle virus was determined. Sequence comparisons revealed 8.4% to 10.7% nucleotide divergence from the published sequences, resulting in the definition of the strain S7. Importantly, a putative recombination event was identified encompassing the viral genome-linked protein involved in host adaptation.
