Abstract excerpt
Live-attenuated rotavirus (RV) vaccines are the most effective interventions for preventing RV gastroenteritis (RVGE) in young children. However, the molecular basis of attenuation remains not well understood. Here, we describe a compact but comprehensive strategy to identify RV virulence determinants by combining low-passage bidirectional selection, sequence analysis, and segment-level phenotype testing via a...
