Abstract

The DNAs encapsidated by parvoviruses show distinctly different patterns with respect to the ratio of plus-to-minus strands and sequence heterogeneity at the ends. A kinetic model, based on differential rates of hairpin transfer at 3' termini, is described and shown to account for all known parvoviral DNA distributions.
