Abstract

SUMMARY

The RNA segments of bovine rotavirus (UK Compton strain) were measured by electron microscopy in mixtures containing φX174 double-stranded DNA as an internal reference molecule. The numbers of base pairs per segment were calculated and compared with data obtained by other procedures (comparative RNA gel electrophoresis; co-electrophoresis of cDNAs in denaturing gels; sequencing).
