Summary
Double stranded DNA extracted from iridescent virus type (IV22) was characterized by its buoyant density in CsCl, thermal denaturation profile and guanine plus cytosine content. The DNA was linear with a molecular weight of 130–143 × 106 determined by reassociation kinetics, contour length measurements and restriction endonuclease analysis.
