GENETICS OF THE ROTAVIRUSES
1 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
Genetic analyses have contributed significantly to our understanding of the biology of the rotaviruses. The distinguishing feature of the virus is a genome consisting of 11 segments of double-stranded RNA. The segmented nature of the genome allows reassortment of genome segments during mixed infections, which is the major distinguishing feature of rotavirus genetics. Reassortment has been a powerful tool for...
