An Efficient Protocol for VZV BAC-Based Mutagenesis

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) causes both varicella (chicken pox) and herpes zoster (shingles). As a member of the human herpesvirus family, VZV contains a large 125-kb DNA genome, encoding 70 unique open reading frames (ORFs). The genetic study of VZV has been hindered by the large size of viral geno ...
