Furthermore, the then recent discovery of restriction endonucleases offered the prospect of fragmenting the viral genome of 35,000 base pairs into tractable units.
-
Later work in other laboratories using specific fragments produced by restriction endonucleases confirmed and refined these findings; and the results were extended to adenoviruses by showing that a segment of the early part of that DNA is always present and transcribed in transformed cells (14, 15).
