Abstract

This full-length genome sequence of a feline leukemia virus Kawakami-Theilen strain (designated KT-FeLV-UCD-1), produced from the chronically infected FL74-UCD-1 cell line, was obtained using high-throughput sequencing. It consisted of 8,464 bp and had a genomic organization similar to that of other gammaretroviruses, containing long terminal repeats and open reading frames for Gag, Pol, and Env.
