Abstract excerpt
The polymerase encoded by human hepatitis B virus, which has reverse transcriptase and RNase H activity, binds to its pregenomic RNA template in a two-step process involving a terminal redundancy.

Three parts of the genome, including the so-called core promoter, are known to show...
