Rick,

Thanks for the response, but surely insertion is also the job of a virus. Isn't that how viruses reproduce, by hijacking the machinery of the nucleus? With naked DNA too, isn't the attraction that once injected into the nucleus it gets taken up into the genome?

I can see though, that if retroviruses are inserting the ('payload") gene all over the place, then the chances of havoc are much greater. Sorry to all if I've been worrying at this like a dog at a dry bone.
