Double-stranded RNA virus outer shell assembly by bona fide domain-swapping

Double-stranded RNA virus outer shell assembly by bona fide domain-swapping

Double-shelled bacteriophage φ6 is a well-studied model system used to understand assembly of dsRNA viruses. Here the authors report a near-atomic resolution cryo-EM structure of φ6 and propose a model for the structural transitions occurring in the outer shell during genome packaging.
