Flexibility of bunyavirus genomes: creation of an orthobunyavirus with an ambisense S segment (2015)
Journal Article
van Knippenberg, I., & Elliott, R. (2015). Flexibility of bunyavirus genomes: creation of an orthobunyavirus with an ambisense S segment. Journal of Virology, 89(10), https://doi.org/10.1128/jvi.03595-14

The Bunyamwera (BUNV) orthobunyavirus NSs protein has proven a challenge to study in the context of viral infection. NSs is encoded in a reading frame that overlaps that of the viral nucleocapsid (N) protein thus limiting options for mutagenesis. In...
