The genomes of 39 herpesviruses were examined for the presence of DNA zip codes, sequence elements found in yeast to be involved in gene localization to the nuclear periphery and transcriptional memory. Tests were carried out with three different zip codes and with viruses in all three subfamilies of the Herpesviridae. All genomes were found to have have at least three zip codes with 30 the most observed. Zip codes in many alphaherpesviruses and in human cytomegalovirus were found to be symmetrically arrang... view moreĀ»
