Abstract excerpt

The stability of the Molluscum contagiosum virus Type 1 genome (188 kbp) was studied in 184 DNA isolates from 131 patients. Variability of up to 1.5 kbp at both ends of the genome symmetrically was observed using restriction analysis of the DNA isolates and by Southern Blot experiments using clon...
