Abstract excerpt
The assembly of adenovirus particles is a multistep process, in which viral genomic DNA is selected and subsequently inserted into preformed empty capsids. The selective encapsidation of the adenovirus genome is directed by cis-acting packaging motifs, termed A repeats due to their AT-rich character in DNA sequence. A repeats are usually located at the left end of the viral genome. In this report, the...
