Abstract excerpt
Replication of the hepadnavirus genome occurs by reverse transcription of an RNA pregenome and is mediated by the viral polymerase; the polymerase is also required for packaging of the pregenome through interaction with the RNA packaging signal, epsilon. Previous work suggested that reverse trans...
