Abstract

SUMMARY

The DNA’s of the simian adenoviruses studied belong to three groups that can be distinguished on the basis of DNA-DNA hybridization techniques: one nononcogenic group and two groups of oncogenic viruses. However, DNA base composition studies reveal at most a bimodal distribution of values, and the mol. wt. of these DNA’s is randomly distributed between 17 and 23 million.
