Evidence for Crossing-Over Between Avian Tumor Viruses Based on Analysis of Viral RNAs

RESUMO

The RNAs of several avian tumor virus recombinants that had inherited their focus-forming ability from a sarcoma virus and their host range marker from a leukosis virus were investigated. Electrophoretic analyses showed that the cloned sarcoma virus recombinants contained only size class a RNA, although they had acquired a marker that resided on class b RNA in the leukosis virus parent. Class a RNA of different recombinant clones, derived from the same pair of parental viruses and selected for the same biological markers, differed slightly in electrophoretic mobility from each other and from the parental sarcoma virus. They were also found to have different fingerprints of RNase T1-resistant oligonucleotides.
