Visualizing the transcription and replication of influenza A viral RNAs in cells by multiple direct RNA padlock probing and in situ sequencing (mudRapp-seq)
Abstract. Influenza A viruses (IAVs) contain eight negative-sense single-stranded viral RNA (vRNA) molecules, which are transcribed into messenger RNA (mRN

A positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus acquired a negative-sense open reading frame through recombination
Author summary The discovery of brine shrimp virga-like virus 1 (BSVV1) challenges the conventional view that positive- and negative-sense RNA viruses are evolutionarily independent. Through genomic a...
