Abstract excerpt
The influenza A virus genome is composed of eight single-stranded negative-sense viral RNA segments (vRNAs). The eight vRNAs are selectively packaged into each progeny virion. This process likely involves specific interactions between the vRNAs via segment-specific packaging signals located in both the 3'- and 5'-terminal regions of the respective vRNAs. To assess the importance of vRNA-vRNA interactions via...
