Regions of repeated DNA in the genome of Choristoneura fumifefana nuclear polyhedrosis virus.
The genome of the nuclear polyhedrosis virus of the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana (CfMNPV), was shown, by Southern blot hybridization, to contain regions of repeated DNA sequences. These homologous regions have been located at four sites on the physical map of CfMNPV. In addition, the DNA at one of these sites is expanded, possibly via tandem duplication, in a fraction of the total viral DNA population.
