Evidence that the genome of hepatitis A virus consists of single-stranded RNA

A G Coulepis et al. J Virol. 1981 Jan.

Abstract

Nucleic acid was extracted from purified hepatitis A virus, radiolabeled with 125I, and shown to consist of single-stranded RNA which sediments at 35S and contains sequences of polyadenylic acid. These findings are consistent with hepatitis A virus being a member of the genus Enterovirus within the family Picornaviridae.
