Several negative-strand viruses carry their genome as a set of discrete RNA segments
Chapter 0, Problem 23-13(choose chapter or problem)
Several negative-strand viruses carry their genome as a set of discrete RNA segments. Examples include influenza virus (eight segments), Rift Valley fever virus (three segments), Hantavirus (three segments), and Lassa virus (two segments), to name a few. Why does segmentation of the genome provide a strong evolutionary advantage for these viruses?
