Abstract excerpt
Marek's disease virus (MDV) is an oncogenic alphaherpesvirus of chickens. The MDV genome consists of two unique regions that are both flanked by inverted repeat regions. These repeats harbor several genes involved in virus replication and pathogenesis, but it remains unclear why MDV and other herpesviruses harbor these large sequence duplications. In this study, we set to determine if both copies of these repeat...
