…An unknown gene shows up on PCR from the liquid surrounding Replicon infected cells. It appears weakly after 5 generations, very faint after 10 generations, strongly after 15 generations and then almost gone after 20 generations. They don't mention in 1/2ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
They do not sequence this unknown gene that shows the most copies after the 15th generation and then mostly disappears. Is it a partial spike protein gene that would make their conclusion that Replicons can transfer partial genes from just the fluid around Replicon cells ? 1/3
