Structural Variability of the Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Genome <i>In Vitro</i> and <i>In Vivo</i>
7 Jun 2012
Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is a human pathogen that leads to recurrent facial-oral lesions. Its 152-kb genome is organized in two covalently linked segments, each composed of a unique sequence flanked by inverted repeats. Replication of the HSV-1 genome produces concatemeric molecules in which homologous recombination events occur between the inverted repeats. This mechanism leads to four genome isomers...
