Nucleotide resolution mapping of influenza A virus nucleoprotein-RNA interactions reveals RNA features required for replication

Influenza A virus packaging depends on interactions between nucleoprotein (NP) and viral RNA (vRNA), but the pattern of NP binding is unclear. Using PAR-CLIP, Williams et al. here show that NP binds vRNA non-uniformly and that RNA structures in low-NP binding regions are important for packaging.
