Epstein-Barr HR-1 virion DNA is very highly methylated.
The virion DNA of Epstein-Barr virus strain HR-1 was found to be methylated to a very large extent, approaching 15%. This extent of methylation is in great contrast to other classes of tumor viruses, and it is the highest that we know of in any mammalian system.
