Description:
An NS-segment exonic splicing enhancer regulates influenza A virus replication in mammalian cells Nature Communications, Published online: 21 March 2017; doi:10.1038/ncomms14751 Some circulating avian influenza A viruses can infect humans, but the mechanism enabling species jump is poorly understood. Here, Huang et al . identify a nucleotide in NEP of avian H7N9 viruses that affects splicing efficiency of the NS segment and supports virus replication in avian and mammalian cells.
