Negative strand RNA viruses come of age. Negative Strand RNA Virus Transcription and Replication sponsored by the Fundación Juan March, Madrid, Spain, April 22-24, 1991.
The recent development of several systems that facilitate manipulation of the nucleotide sequences of negative strand RNA viruses and examination of the effects of these changes in vivo has enabled great progress in the study of these fascinating organisms. Such studies are leading to a greater understanding of the role of viral nucleotide sequences and viral (and sometimes cellular) proteins in the control of negative strand RNA virus replication and transcription. This Fundación Juan March Workshop provided an excellent opportunity for extensive discussion and exchange of ideas on just how far the research on these viruses has gone, and for contemplating the paths that future inquiries will take.
