Diverse effects of coronavirus-defective viral genomes on the synthesis of IFNβ and ISG15 mRNAs and coronavirus replication

Abstract Background The mechanism by which coronavirus-defective viral genomes (DVGs) affect coronavirus and host cells during infection remains unclear. A variety of DVGs with different RNA structures can be synthesized from coronavirus-infected cells, and these DVGs can also encode proteins. Conse...
