Abstract

The influenza A viruses which are the most severe and common among the influenza viruses have 8 segmented RNA genomes Each RNA segment has highly conserved 3' and 5' terminal sequence except a single U\longrightarrowC variation especially in the 4 position of the 3' terminal of the 3 segments encoding own RNA polymerase.(omitted)
