This study determines the structure of influenza D virus NS1, identifies a novel Zn-binding site and RNA-binding activity in its CTD, and shows their importance for viral replication.

This study uses single-molecule force spectroscopy to resolve the multi-domain architecture of Orsay virus δ protein by creating a 2D mechano-structural signature map.

This study identifies mutations in viral replication proteins that alter subgenomic RNA production in turnip crinkle virus.

This study shows H7 influenza A viruses lose Neu5Gc binding during adaptation to chickens, enhancing transmissibility in poultry but reducing transmission back to wild birds.
