Evidence of a repetitive sequence in vaccinia virus DNA.

G Pedrali-Noy, A Weissbach
PMCID: PMC515942  PMID: 904031

Abstract

Analysis of vaccinia DNA by reassociation kinetics revealed that 7% of the genome contains a sequence repeated 10 times. This sequence does not contain any host cell DNA, is viral specific, and is found in virions passed at either high or low multiplicities of infection.
