Abstract excerpt
The mouse is widely used as a model for DNA therapy and vaccination even though the efficiency of DNA delivery in higher mammals and humans is much less. The human APOBEC3 (A3) enzymes impact viral genomes by cytidine deamination, which introduces multiple uridine residues into single-stranded DNA, a process known as genetic editing. This initiates rapid DNA catabolism via a uracil DNA glycosylase dependent...
