title: Characterization of the genome of cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus.
abstract: It is possible to oxidize in situ the 3'-terminals of the double-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) contained in structurally intact cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus. The number of 3'-terminals subsequently found by reduction with tritiated sodium borohydride was equivalent to the number observed in RNA first isolated from the virus and then oxidized and reduced. The viral RNA appears to occur in 10 distinct polynucleotide segments present in equimolar amounts.
