Abstract

Different influenza A viruses (IAVs) infect the same cell in a host, and can subsequently produce new viruses through genome reassortment. By combining padlock probe RNA labeling with a single-cell analysis, a new approach effectively captures IAV genome trafficking and defines a time window for genome reassortment from same-cell coinfections.

Keywords: influenza A virus genomes; single cell; visualization.
