Lytic replication is essential to virus spread and plays important roles in tumorigenesis caused by gammaherpesviruses.Murine gammaherpesvirus-68 (MHV-68) is genetically related to Kaposis sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and replicates robustly in vitro, providing an efficient model for studying the lytic genome replication of gammaherpesviruses during de novo infection.We have previously identified two copies of origin of lytic replication (oriLyt), located towards the left and right genomic termini of MHV-68, respectively.
