Abstract excerpt
Copy-back defective viral genomes (cbDVGs) are key inducers of antiviral responses during negative-sense RNA virus infection. Once considered byproducts of in vitro viral replication, cbDVGs have since been detected in clinical specimens and implicated in affecting infection outcomes. The molecular mechanism of cbDVG generation remains unclear, thereby hindering our ability to manipulate cbDVG production during...
