This study compares how Oz virus and Dhori virus polymerases regulate RNA synthesis across genome segments using minigenome systems, revealing differences in promoter activity based on distal duplex sequence variations.

The paper analyzes the evolutionary changes in the V protein region of HPIV-1, showing an excess of stop codons in a pseudo-V reading frame after losing RNA editing.

This study establishes a reverse genetics system to recover infectious Oz virus from cloned cDNA, demonstrating efficient viral replication comparable to wild-type.

This study examines the role of antigenomic PE2 in Sosuga virus replication, showing it enhances minigenome activity and encodes a conserved motif in the L protein.

The paper quantifies RNA editing efficiency in paramyxovirus-infected cells using nanopore sequencing, revealing differences in editing between Sendai virus and canine distemper virus.

The paper develops a minigenome assay to study Oz virus RNA synthesis and finds that Segment 5 has lower promoter activity due to a partial lack of the distal duplex structure.

The paper identifies distinct PE2 subcategories in paramyxoviruses and shows that four U-containing hexamer repeats are critical for filovirus genome replication.
