Mapping of the influenza A virus genome RNA structure and interactions reveals essential elements of viral replication

Abstract excerpt

Influenza A virus (IAV) represents a constant public health threat. The single-stranded, segmented RNA genome of IAV is replicated in host cell nuclei as a series of 8 ribonucleoprotein complexes (vRNPs) with RNA structures known to exert essential function to support viral replication. Here, we investigate RNA secondary structures and RNA interactions networks of the IAV genome and construct an in vivo structure...
