Abstract excerpt

The fidelity of homologous recombination in vaccinia virus (VV) DNA was examined by constructing a viral recombinant whose genome contained a copy of the Escherichia coli lac z gene in which the central third of the gene was repeated on either side of the VV thymidine kinase (tk) gene. In this vi...
