Size and location of the transforming region in human adenovirus type 5 DNA

Nature volume 251, pages 687–691 (1974)Cite this article

Abstract

Fragments of human adenovirus type 5 DNA as small as one million daltons can transform cells in vitro. The DNA segment which induces transformation is located between 1 and 6% from the left end of the Ad 5 DNA molecule.
