Abstract excerpt
Reverse genetics systems represent a key technique for studying replication and pathogenesis of viruses, including Ebola virus (EBOV). During the rescue of recombinant EBOV from Vero cells, a high frequency of mutations was observed throughout the genomes of rescued viruses, including at the RNA editing site of the glycoprotein gene. The influence that such genomic instability could have on downstream uses of...
