Functional map of human cytomegalovirus AD169 defined by global mutational analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Human cytomegalovirus has a complex double-stranded DNA genome of approximately 240,000 bp that contains approximately 150 ORFs likely to encode proteins, most of whose functions are not well understood. We have used an infectious bacterial artificial chromosome to introduce 413 defined insertion and substitution mutations into the human cytomegalovirus AD169 genome by random and site-directed transposon...
