Abstract excerpt
We determined the in vivo forward mutation rate in a single replication cycle for spleen necrosis virus (SNV). A method was developed to clone integrated proviruses of retroviral shuttle vectors by exploiting the tight binding of the lac operator to the lac repressor protein. The vectors contained the lacZ alpha gene as a reporter of mutations. Thirty-seven of the 16,867 proviruses recovered contained five...
