Abstract
Reovirus contains a larger complement of genetic material than is present in any other RNA virus thus far studied, be it bacterial, plant, or animal. The RNA of reovirus has a number of characteristics usually associated with DNA; its base ratios are complementary and it behaves as if it were double-stranded. If it is indeed double-stranded, then reovirus nucleic acid is the first RNA to be found in nature having this unusual structure. The RNA of wound tumor virus appears to have a similar structure.Keywords
