Cryptic proteins translated from deletion-containing viral genomes dramatically expand the influenza virus proteome

Abstract excerpt

Productive infections by RNA viruses require faithful replication of the entire genome. Yet many RNA viruses also produce deletion-containing viral genomes (DelVGs), aberrant replication products with large internal deletions. DelVGs interfere with the replication of wild-type virus and their presence in patients is associated with better clinical outcomes. The DelVG RNA itself is hypothesized to confer this...
