abstract：:The integration of viral DNA into the host genome is an essential step in the retrovirus life cycle. To understand this process better, we have examined the native state of viral DNA in cells acutely infected by murine leukemia virus (MLV), using both a physical assay for viral DNA and a functional assay for integrati...
