Abstract
Overlapping, sheared DNA fragments from the B95-8 strain of Epstein-Barr virus were cloned in Charon 4A. Eleven recombinant phages plus one recombinant plasmid contained all of the sequences found in B95-8 virion DNA. Analysis of recombinant DNA molecules revealed a previously undetected site of homology to the internal repetition found in Epstein-Barr virus DNA. This site was adjacent to or at a site which was unstable when the recombinant DNA was propagated as phage DNA in procaryotic hosts.
