Selective flexible packaging pathways of the segmented genome of influenza A virus

The mechanism underlying packaging of the 8 segments of the influenza virus genome into virions is not well understood. Here, the authors use a multiplexed FISH assay to monitor the 8 segments in parallel in infected cells suggesting bundling routes during the packaging process.
