Another consequence of the DNA being cut out of a concatemer is that a given linear molecule can start at any location on the circular genome.
2.
Continued DNA synthesis can produce multiple single-stranded linear copies of the original DNA in a continuous head-to-tail series called a concatemer.
3.
Ul12 and ICP8 viral proteins function together as a recombinase, possibly showing that while working with the host's recombination factors, work to form a concatemer by stimulating homologous recombination.
