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

Mai Kishimoto, Sakiho Imai, Akari Sono…·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.
