Involvement of directly repeated sequences in the generation of deletions of the avian sarcoma virus src gene

J Virol. 1983 Aug;47(2):380-2. doi: 10.1128/JVI.47.2.380-382.1983.

Abstract

Nucleotide sequence analysis of two molecular clones of transformation-defective avian sarcoma virus indicate that direct repeated sequences of 6 and 20 nucleotides are involved in the formation of the src deletions in these clones.
