Deskripsi

Reoviridae undergo a complex assembly pathway in the host cell. Here the authors use cryo-electron tomography to visualize the assembly stages of mammalian orthoreovirus revealing a single shelled intermediate with gross similarity to an early assembly stage of a family of prokaryotic dsRNA viruses.
