“…10a); it is the incorporation of the second stop codon which is lethal. Significantly, varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the genome of which is very similar to that of HSV (Dumas et al, 1980(Dumas et al, , 1981Davison & Scott, 1983), has one open reading frame running into TRs, and another reading frame whose termination codon lies precisely at the IRs/Us junction (Davison, 1983). This organization conforms exactly to our hypothesis.…”
