Dear Editor,We report the results of cloning,expression,subcellular localization analysis,and molecular properties of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) BFRF3 gene,using several bioinformatics tools.Bioinformatics analysis indicated that the encoding protein of EBV BFRF3 gene (designated BFRF3) has a conserved Herpes_capsid domain,which was found to be closely related to the gammaherpesvirus capsid protein family,and is highly conserved among its counterparts.Multiple nucleic acid sequence and amino acid (aa) sequence alignments suggested that BFRF3 has a relatively higher homology
