Abstract excerpt
Advances in HCMV population genetics have greatly outpaced understanding of the links between genetic diversity and phenotypic variation. Moreover, recombination between genotypes may shuffle variable loci into various combinations with unknown outcomes. UL74(gO) is an important determinant of HCMV infectivity and one of the most diverse loci in the viral genome. By analyzing interstrain heterologous UL74(gO)...
