Outer capsid glycoprotein VP7 — Rotavirus C, strain "Javeriana" — NCBI sequence record CAD70160.1

Gutiérrez MF, Riaño M, Matiz A, Jiang B.

Research objective

Publicly deposit the VP7 outer glycoprotein sequence of a Colombian Rotavirus C isolate (strain "Javeriana"), supporting molecular characterization of Rotavirus C in Latin America.

Population or sample

Human fecal isolate from Bogotá, Colombia. Genome segment 8; 332 amino acids.

Methods

Molecular characterization and sequencing of the Rotavirus C S8 segment, deposited in EMBL/GenBank (accession CAD70160.1; DBSOURCE AJ549087.1) via the Viral Gastroenteritis Section, U.S. CDC.

Key findings

Public reference sequence available for downstream molecular epidemiology and comparative analysis of Rotavirus C.

Scientific relevance

Anchors a Colombian Rotavirus C isolate in the international molecular record, complementing the published finding of high Group C prevalence in Colombian pediatric populations. This is a public sequence record, not a peer-reviewed article.

Marcela Riaño Caro's documented role

Attributed author on the NCBI sequence record, deposited through a scientific collaboration with the CDC Viral Gastroenteritis Section.
