DI-tector : defective interfering viral genomes’ detector for next-generation sequencing data
16 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Defective interfering (DI) genomes, or defective viral genomes (DVGs), are truncated viral genomes generated during replication of most viruses, including live viral vaccines. Among these, “panhandle” or copy-back (cb) and “hairpin” or snap-back (sb) DI genomes are generated during RNA virus replication. 5′ cb/sb DI genomes are highly relevant for viral pathogenesis since they harbor immunostimulatory properties...
