Sequencing the cap-snatching repertoire of H1N1 influenza provides insight into the mechanism of viral transcription initiation

The influenza polymerase cleaves host RNAs ∼10–13 nucleotides downstream of their 5′ ends and uses this capped fragment to prime viral mRNA synthesis. To better understand this process of cap snatching, we used high-throughput sequencing to determine the 5′ ends of A/WSN/33 (H1N1) influenza mRNAs. T...
