Abstract excerpt
The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication origin exhibits a strain-dependent difference in the number of copies of a 189-bp region: the AD169 and Towne strains contain one and three copies of the region, respectively. A nearly complete deletion of the 189-bp repeat region of the Towne strain does not eliminate the origin's ability to initiate DNA synthesis. Here we report that the replication ability of the...
