Physical map of the Cryptophlebia leucotreta granulosis virus genome and its relationship to the genome of Cydia pomonella granulosis virus.

A physical map of the genome of Cryptophlebia leucotreta granulosis virus (CIGV) was constructed for the restriction enzymes BamHI, EcoRI, KpnI, NdeI, NruI, SacI and XhoI using hybridization techniques. The size of the viral genome was determined to be 112.4 kbp. A restriction fragment library covering almost the entire genome of CIGV was constructed, and the position of the granulin gene was identified by cross-hybridization with granulin coding fragments of Cydia pomonella granulosis virus (CpGV). Two further regions of intergenomic similarity between CIGV and CpGV were mapped. These regions were aligned and show a collinear arrangement.
