Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophage phi6 has a genome of three segments of double-stranded RNA enclosed in a polyhedral procapsid. Plus strand transcripts of the segments are packaged in a serially dependent fashion in which S can package alone, M depends on S, and L depends on S and M. We have isolated a mutant form of the virus in the carrier state that has lost segment S. This finding presented an apparent anomaly with respect to...
