Direct proof of the 5' to 3' transcriptional jump during reverse transcription of the avian retrovirus genome by DNA sequencing.
DNA sequence analysis of avian sarcoma virus in vitro-synthesized complementary DNA and in vivo-synthesized, molecularly cloned viral DNA provides unequivocal proof that only one copy of the terminally redundant viral RNA sequence is copied during reverse transcription.
