Abstract
The invention relates generally to the quantitation of virus and viral nucleic acid. The invention relates to methods for quantitating an amount of virus present in a sample, comprising introducing into the sample a composition comprising a genetically tagged viral nucleic acid, isolating said wild type and said tagged nucleic acid, and quantitating said wild type and said tagged nucleic acid. The invention also relates to genetically tagged retroviral nucleic acid comprising a tag sequence, including insertions and deletions.
