Abstract
The classical approach to virus genetics is limited primarily to the isolation and characterization of conditionally lethal, deletion, and drug resistant or dependent virus mutants. The ultimate goal of a genetic analysis of a virus is to provide a genetic definition of the physical map location of each gene and the biological function of each gene product. This chapter deals with the “classical” approach to genetic analysis of orthopoxviruses.Keywords
