Due to the segmented nature of the influenza genome, in which coding sequences are located on individual RNA strands, genomes are readily shuffled in host cells that are infected with more than ...

To fight the virus that causes influenza, one of the avenues being explored by scientists is the development of drugs capable of destabilising its genome, made up of eight RNA 1 molecules.

The influenza A virus (IAV) is known for its segmented genome, which consists of eight distinct viral RNA segments (vRNAs). This unique structure allows for genetic reassortment, a process that ...

To combat the influenza virus, researchers are investigating ways to destabilize its genome, composed of eight RNA molecules. However, each RNA segment is bound to a complex assembly of proteins that ...

told Salon to think of testing for influenza A or B as like a “triage ... “The segmented nature of the H5N1 genome creates a genetic lottery where reassortment with seasonal flu viruses ...

The duck is a known natural host of nearly all influenza A virus subtypes (including H5N1). Researchers have now sequenced the whole genome of a female duck from Beijing. Comparisons of the duck’s ...

Influenza A virus is a highly contagious pathogen ... The virus's segmented genome enables it to reassort alleles, leading to new variants capable of crossing species barriers.

3D reconstruction of the arrangement of an influenza virus RNA molecule (yellow) in its double-helix protein coat (purple and green). The atomic visualisation of these intimate protective ...
