Key result
Reversed genome organization in 4 ifla-like viruses suggests this phenomenon commonly spans picornavirus families.
Why the study?
Recent identification of at least 4 ifla-like viruses with reversed genome organization in Iflaviridae raised the possibility that this phenomenon may commonly present across picornavirus families.
Highlights the presence of reversed genome organization in ifla-like viruses, suggesting this phenomenon may be common in picornaviruses.
Reversed genome organization may extend beyond Iflaviridae; leaves open its prevalence across Picornavirales families.
Monopartite viruses in the order Picornavirales exhibit distinct genome arrangement of nonstructural proteins and structural proteins for each of the 8 families. Recent studies indicated that at least 4 ifla-like viruses possessed reversed genome organization in the family Iflaviridae , raising the possibility that this phenomenon may commonly present in different families of picornaviruses.
