Abstract excerpt
Essential viral proteins perform vital functions during morphogenesis via a complex interaction with other viral and cellular gene products. Here, we present a novel approach to comprehensive mutagenesis of essential cytomegalovirus genes and biological analysis in the 230-kbp-genome context. A random Tn7-based mutagenesis procedure at the single-gene level was combined with site-specific recombination via the...
