The nucleotide sequences of the terminal regions of an infectious integrated retrovirus [spleen necrosis virus] cloned in the modified .lambda. phage cloning vector Charon 4A were elucidated. There is a 569-base pair direct repeat at both ends of the viral DNA. The cell-virus junctions at each end consist of a 5-base pair direct repeat of cell DNA next to a 3-base pair inverted repeat of viral DNA. This structure resembles that of a transposable element and is consistent with the protovirus hypothesis that retroviruses evolved from the cell genome.
