Structure of Influenza A Virus Promoter and its Implications for Viral RNA Synthesis

Structure of Influenza A Virus Promoter and its Implications for Viral RNA Synthesis

Since the worst worldwide pandemic ever recorded — the 1918 Spanish influenza outbreak that killed more than 20 million people — we have achieved significant advances in understanding the influenza virus. However, the fear of such a pandemic remains strong. For example, in 1997, when a lethal influe...
