Nucleotide Sequence of the Gene Coding for the Bacteriophage MS2 Coat Protein
@article{Jou1972NucleotideSO, title={Nucleotide Sequence of the Gene Coding for the Bacteriophage MS2 Coat Protein}, author={Willy Min Jou and Guy Haegeman and M. Ysebaert and Walter Charles Fiers}, journal={Nature}, year={1972}, volume={237}, pages={82-88} }
By characterization of fragments, isolated from a nuclease digest of MS2 RNA, the entire nucleotide sequence of the coat gene was established. A “flower”-like model is proposed for the secondary structure. The genetic code makes use of 49 different codons to specify the sequence of the 129 amino-acids long coat polypeptide.

The nucleotide sequence of the RNA of the bacteriophage MS2 was examined by computer for internal patterns and it was found that the non-coding sequences in the genome are as highly ordered, although in a different sense, as the genes themselves.
