Abstract excerpt
Duck hepatitis B virus mutants containing frameshift or stop codon mutations in a portion of the viral pol gene separating the terminal protein and reverse transcriptase domains had a leaky phenotype and, depending on the location and type of mutation, synthesized up to 10% as much viral DNA as d...
