3 Mar 2008
Abstract excerpt
Many viruses introduce DNA into the host-cell nucleus, where they must either embrace or confront chromatin factors as a support or obstacle to completion of their life cycle. Compared to the eukaryotic cell, viruses have compact and rapidly evolving genomes. Despite their smaller size, viruses have complex life cycles that involve dynamic changes in DNA structure. Nuclear entry, transcription, replication,...
