A region at the left end of the fowl adenovirus 9 genome that is non-essential in vitro has consequences in vivo
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The regions at the left and right ends of fowl adenovirus (FAdV) genomes are not well-characterized in comparison to those of human adenoviruses. Using a series of deletion mutants, we analysed a 2.4 kb region near the left end of the FAdV-9 genome (nt 400-2782) that contains packaging-signal motifs VI and VII and open reading frames (ORFs) 0, 1, 1A, 1B, 1C and 2. Viable viruses with specific deletions in this region had wild-type characteristics in vitro, as measured by cytopathic effect, plaque morphology, virus titres and growth kinetics. However, one mutant (FAdV-9Delta4), which lacked these ORFs and retained the packaging motifs, did not replicate at wild-type levels in vivo, as judged in infected eggs by virus titres in allantoic fluid and in infected chickens by antibody responses, virus titres in faeces and virus genome copy numbers in tissues. These findings indicate that some of the ORFs in this region, although dispensable in vitro, are important for in vivo replication of FAdV-9.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
