Illegitimate replication of linear hepadnavirus DNA through nonhomologous recombination.
Journal of virology - 1 Jul 1995
Yang W, Summers J
Abstract excerpt
Linear hepadnavirus DNA in primary hepatocyte cultures efficiently participates in intra- and intermolecular nonhomologous recombination at its ends. The products of this recombination are (i) monomeric covalently closed circular DNAs (cccDNAs) with deletions and insertions around the site of joi...
