title: No homology between double-stranded RNA and nuclear DNA of yeast.
abstract: We investigated the possibility of sequence of homology between yeast DNA and one of the double-stranded RNAs present in many strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These double-stranded RNAs are encapsidated in virus-like particles, which appear to be similar to the viruses of higher fungi. Contrary to a recent report (M. Vodkin, J. Virol. 21:516--521, 1976), we find no such homology.
