Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex of influenza virus consists of four subunits PB2, PB1, PA, and NP, which are essential for replication. While reassortment plays an important role in the evolution and virulence of influenza viruses, limited studies have investigated the effect of reassortment on the evolution of the internal RNP subunits. OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of reassortment on the...
