Unveiling the biology of defective viral genomes in vitro and in vivo: implications for gene expression and pathogenesis of coronavirus
Abstract Background Defective viral genome (DVG) is a truncated version of the full-length virus genome identified in most RNA viruses during infection. The synthesis of DVGs in coronavirus has been suggested; however, the fundamental characteristics of coronavirus DVGs in gene expression and pathog...
