Human foamy virus reverse transcription that occurs late in the viral replication cycle

Abstract excerpt

Foamy viruses (FVs) are retroid viruses which use a replication strategy unlike those of other retroviruses and hepadnaviruses (S. F. Yu, D. N. Baldwin, S. R. Gwynn, S. Yendapilli, and M. L. Linial, Science 271:1579-1582, 1996). One of the striking differences between FVs and retroviruses is the presence of large amounts of linear genome-length DNA in FV-infected cells and in virions. We report here that large...
