Recombination in West Nile Virus: minimal contribution to genomic diversity.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Genome-wide RNAi screening has been widely used to identify host proteins involved in replication and infection of different viruses, and numerous host factors are implicated in the replication cycles of these viruses, demonstrating the power of this approach. However, discrepancies on target identification ...
