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 ...

The influenza A virus genome consists of eight segments of single-stranded, negative-sense viral RNA, which encode multiple ...

Flu cases are through the roof across the US right now. And, while cold and flu season always packs a punch, it feels like ...

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 ...

As cases of seasonal influenza surge, health officials are closely monitoring a growing threat—the potential fusion of human ...

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 ...

Influenza A virus particles strategically adapt their shape—to become either spheres or larger filaments—to favor their ...

The newer variant of avian influenza that recently infected dairy cattle in Nevada has a genetic change that’s thought to ...

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.
