Structural and non-structural genes contribute to the genetic diversity of RNA viruses

ABSTRACT: With the advent of advanced sequencing technology, studies of RNA viruses have shown that genetic diversity contribute to both attenuation and virulence. The differences in genetic diversity of wild-type Asibi virus and 17D-204 vaccine provides an unique opportunity to investigate RNA population theory in the context of a well described live attenuated vaccine. Utilizing infectious clone-derived viruses containing some of the amino acid substitutions that differentiate yellow fever wild-type Asibi strain from 17D vaccine and recovered in a controlled experiment, establishes that the genetic diversity differences that exist between wild-type Asibi and 17D-204 vaccine viruses are not influenced by either different passage history or source of samples, but rather resulted from the attenuati
