The broken genome: Merging cutting edge technologies for a molecular understanding of the Flock House virus defective interfering particle.
Defective RNAs are natural versions of a viral genome that have been truncated or rearranged by non-homologous recombination. While not encoding for functional viruses, they can be amplified and co-passaged with the wild-type virus, effectively parasitizing the normal viral machinery. Some …

Decoding aberrant RNA Synthesis by the Influenza A Virus
… viral genome. In addition to the full- length vRNAs and cRNAs, the FluPolA synthesizes aberrant RNA products, such as defective interfering RNAs (diRNAs) and mini viral RNAs (mvRNAs). The innate immune system serves as the body's primary defence against viruses. Within this intricate defence …
