Coronaviruses Maintain Viability despite Dramatic Rearrangements of the Strictly Conserved Genome Organization
18 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
Despite their high frequency of RNA recombination, the plus-strand coronaviruses have a characteristic, strictly conserved genome organization with the essential genes occurring in the order 5'-polymerase (pol)-S-E-M-N-3'. We have investigated the significance of this remarkable conservation by rearrangement of the murine coronavirus genome through targeted recombination. Thus, viruses were prepared with the...
