New CDC XMRV sequences severely damage the contamination hypothesis

International M.E. Association:

The sequences from a recent CDC
prostate cancer study have finally
appeared in the GenBank, some eight
weeks after publication in PLoS ONE.

A quick BLAST search reveals that these
sequences, together with the Lithuania isolate S-162 (Accession number:
FR872816.1
), severely damage the
contamination hypothesis due to the large
diversity shown by the HGRV variant
XMRV.
