Abstract excerpt
Hepadnaviruses replicate by reverse transcription of an RNA pregenome. Reverse transcription initiates within the stem-loop (SL) of the epsilon RNA packaging signal and is discontinuous: the nascent minus-polarity DNA is transferred to direct repeat 1 (DR1) at the 3' end of the pregenomic RNA prior to extensive elongation. In this study we analyzed the initiation and transfer of duck hepatitis B virus...
