     Do you know where such info (Reproduction, structure, full RNA sequence,
and any info on those 4 "unknown" proteins). I would like to examine the
genomes of the Marburg and Ebola strains and look for areas of recombination
and see if these regions have any homology to other (nucleotide or amino acid)
sequences from other organisms. Also how does a eukaryotic mRNA encode 7
proteins except as a polyprotein (single peptide chain cleaved by host or
viral protease activity)? I am not fully familiar with this subject and would 
like good refs... Also where can i get a good DOS program with things like 
BLAST and good databases.
