TITLE Nucleotide and predicted amino acid sequence of the Marek's disease
virus and turkey herpesvirus thymidine kinase genes; comparison
with thymidine kinase genes of other herpesviruses

STANDARD full staff_entry
COMMENT Comparison with other available herpesvirus thymidine kinase gene
sequences reveals a greater homology to those of the alphaherpes-
viruses than to those of the gammaherpesviruses.
