The NP gene is 1747 nt long and encodes a protein of 489 amino acids. Each of the intergenic sequences determined is 1 nt long and, including the previously published intergenic sequences, the gene junction sequences varied in length from 1– 47 nt and lacked any sequence identity. The 5′ trailer region is 113 nt in length. Comparison of the sequences of the terminal leader and trailer regions of Beaudette C strain with those of nonvirulent strain B1 showed a high level of conservation, indicating the likelihood of these elements not being a factor in virulence. Together with previously published data, this report completes the sequence of the 15 186 nt genomic RNA of NDV strain Beaudette C. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-79-10-2419
