Abstract excerpt
Antiviral therapy is constantly challenged by the emergence of resistant pathogens. At the same time, experimental approaches to understand and predict resistance are limited by long periods required for evolutionary processes. Here, we present a herpes simplex virus 1 mutant with impaired proofreading capacity and consequently elevated mutation rates. Comparing this hypermutator to parental wild type virus, we...
