Virus-derived small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are the hallmark of RNAi-based antiviral immunity. Wu and colleagues demonstrate how viral genomes can be assembled from these small RNA sequences. Their results provide an approach for virus discovery as well as important insights into how these siRNAs mediate antiviral defense.
病毒来源的小干扰 RNA(siRNA)是 RNA 干扰抗病毒免疫的标志。Wu 及其同事展示了如何从这些小 RNA 序列组装病毒基因组。他们的研究结果为病毒发现提供了一种方法,同时也深入了解了这些 siRNA 如何介导抗病毒防御。
