The advent of a new reverse genetics system for reoviruses, described in this issue of Cell Host & Microbe by Kobayashi et al., opens new horizons of investigation into the molecular mechanisms governing dsRNA virus replication and pathogenesis. The elegant approach for recombinant reovirus recovery from a set of plasmid DNAs provides a template for designing similar reverse genetics systems for other dsRNA viruses associated with considerable morbidity and mortality in humans.
小林等人在本期《细胞宿主与微生物》中描述的呼肠孤病毒新型反向遗传学系统的出现,为研究双链RNA病毒复制和发病机制的分子机制开辟了新的视野。从一组质粒DNA中回收重组呼肠孤病毒的巧妙方法,为设计针对其他与人类相当高发病率和死亡率相关的双链RNA病毒的类似反向遗传学系统提供了模板。
