Genetic Instability and Fragmentation of a Stealth Viral Genome

Abstract excerpt

Partial sequencing was performed on cloned DNA obtained from cultures of a stealth virus isolated from a patient with the chronic fatigue syndrome. The results extend earlier findings showing regions of homology to cytomegalovirus (CMV). Although the virus is much more closely related to simian CMV than to human CMV, many of the cloned viral segments could be aligned with the human CMV genome. The aggregate size...
