Pan-flavivirus analysis reveals sfRNA-independent, 3′ UTR-biased siRNA production from an insect-specific flavivirus
15 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT RNA interference (RNAi) plays an essential role in mosquito antiviral immunity, but it is not known whether viral small interfering RNA (siRNA) profiles differ between mosquito-borne and mosquito-specific viruses. A pan-Orthoflavivirus analysis in Aedes albopictus cells revealed that viral siRNAs were evenly distributed across the viral genome of most representatives of the Flavivirus genus. In contrast,...
