Abstract excerpt
RNA viruses exploit host cells by altering cellular pathways, recruiting host factors, remodeling intracellular membranes and escaping host antiviral responses. Model hosts, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast), are valuable to identify host factors involved in viral RNA replication. The many advantages of using yeast include the availability of various yeast mutant libraries, such as (i) single gene-deletion...
