Recombinant viruses are the workhorse of modern neuroscience. Whether one would like to
understand a neuron's morphology, natural activity patterns, molecular composition …

Rates of spontaneous mutation per genome as measured in the laboratory are remarkably
similar within broad groups of organisms but differ strikingly among groups. Mutation rates in …

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is a herpesvirus of swine, a member of the Alphaherpesvirinae
subfamily, and the etiological agent of Aujeszky's disease. This review describes the …

Herpesviruses replicate their DNA and package this DNA into capsids in the nucleus. These
capsids then face substantial obstacles to their release from cells. Unlike other DNA viruses …

We identified and cloned a cellular mediator of herpes simplex virus (HSV) entry. Hamster
and swine cells resistant to viral entry became susceptible upon expression of a human …

This paper is about the taxonomy and genomics of herpesviruses. Each theme is presented
as a digest of current information flanked by commentaries on past activities and future …

Large-scale sequence analysis of the AD169 strain of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)
began in this laboratory in 1984 when very little was known about the sequence or location …

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections of humans were first documented in ancient Greece.
Greek scholars, particularly Hippocrates, used the word" herpes," meaning to creep or crawl …

A wide range of cytotoxic and mutagenic DNA bases are removed by different DNA
glycosylases, which initiate the base excision repair pathway. DNA glycosylases cleave the …

More than 10 years have elapsed since the first report of the International Committee for the
Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Herpesvirus Study Group [-187]. In that publication the Study …
