Infectious RNA transcribed in vitro from a cDNA copy of the human coronavirus genome cloned in vaccinia virus
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
The coronavirus genome is a positive-strand RNA of extraordinary size and complexity. It is composed of approximately 30000 nucleotides and it is the largest known autonomously replicating RNA. It is also remarkable in that more than two-thirds of the genome is devoted to encoding proteins involved in the replication and transcription of viral RNA. Here, a reverse-genetic system is described for the generation of...
