Ambisense transcription uncovers hidden coding capacity in compact circular RNA satellite viruses

Mai Kishimoto, Sakiho Imai, Akari Sono, Manabu Igarashi, Yukiko Sassa-O’Brien, Dennis Rubbenstroth, Masayuki Horie

The paper demonstrates that ambisense transcription allows compact circular RNA viruses to expand coding capacity by expressing additional genes, using kolmioviruses as a case study.
