Deskripsi
Influenza A virus (IAV) packages its eight genomic RNA segments in a specific “1+7” pattern. Here, the authors generate IAV that lack one RNA segment and show that ribosomal RNA is packaged in place of the eighth segment, suggesting that the 1+7 pattern is important for particle production.
