Abstract excerpt
Influenza A virus (IAV) selectively packages eight distinct viral RNA (vRNA) segments into progeny virions through segment-specific packaging signals located in the noncoding regions and their adjacent coding sequences. Emerging evidence indicates that local secondary structures within these regions are involved in intersegment RNA-RNA interactions required for selective genome incorporation. Here, we examined a...
