| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To clarify the unknown diversity and function of mycovirus, we tried to read sequence of double-stranded RNA thought to be derived from mycoviruses which were mainly detected from wood-decaying fungi. As the result, partial sequences of the RdRp region and the region encoding unknown proteins were obtained from the double-stranded RNA. In order to determine full sequences of these gene regions, their terminal sequences were read by RACE (Rapid amplification of cDNA ends), but adequate results were not obtained. Therefore, we are planning to read the full sequence by the FLDS (Fragmented and loop primer ligated dsRNA sequencing) method which is a more comprehensive RNA virus detection technique than conventional methods.
