title: Structure and function of herpesvirus saimira DNA.
abstract: Two types of genomes are present in HVS stocks: (1) the defective H-genome consisting of highly reiterated heavy (71% C+G) sequences; and (2) the M-genome, which carries the whole genetic information of HVS and is infectious in tissue culture. The sequences in the M-genome are made up of 70% unique L-DNA (with 36% C + G) and 30% H-DNA, which is highly repetitive. H-sequences in the M-genome are clustered at the ends of the molecule.
