The footprint of genome architecture in the largest genome expansion in RNA viruses.

The small size of RNA virus genomes (2-to-32 kb) has been attributed to high mutation rates during replication, which is thought to lack proof-reading. This paradigm is being revisited owing to the discovery of a 3'-to-5' exoribonuclease (ExoN) in nidoviruses, a monophyletic group of posit...
