Physical mapping of Malacosoma neustria nuclear polyhedrosis virus genome

I. M. Kikhno, L. I. Strokovskaya

A physical map of the circular M. neustria nuclear polyhedrosis virus genome was constructed. The complete order of BamHI, KpnJ and Putl restriction enzyme sites was determined. The polyhedrin gene was localized on the map. The size of the viral DNA was calculated to be about 139 kbp.
