Journal Article
Guy, C., Atkinson, J., Gupta, M., Mahdi, A., Gwynn, E., Rudolph, C., Moon, P., van Knippenberg, I., Cadman, C., Dillingham, M., Lloyd, R., & McGlynn, P. (2009).

Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus S-segment untranslated regions mediate poly(A) tail-independent translation (2009)
Journal Article
