Abstract

The complete genomic sequence was determined for the original biological material used to derive the WHO international standard for BK polyomavirus (BKV) DNA. The entire coding sequence and noncoding regions were assigned BKV subtype 1, subgroup 1b-1. This information will aid development and evaluation of human BKV DNA amplification assays.
