Rearranged Genomic RNA Segments Offer a New Approach to the Reverse Genetics of Rotaviruses
29 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
Group A rotaviruses (RV), members of the Reoviridae family, are a major cause of infantile acute gastroenteritis. The RV genome consists of 11 double-stranded RNA segments. In some cases, an RNA segment is replaced by a rearranged RNA segment, which is derived from its standard counterpart by partial sequence duplication. We report here a reverse genetics system for RV based on the preferential packaging of...
