About this event
The genetic diversity of eukaryotic RNA viruses is poorly described, due to sparse sampling and biases towards pathogens that impact human health or commercial agriculture. Positive single-stranded RNA viruses exhibit a distinct ability to restructure the endomembranes of host cells to facilitate their propagation. Mitochondria in particular are attractive targets for viral replication, given...
