Wilson-Carragher Image (IMAGE) Scripps Research Institute Caption The new Scripps Research Institute study shows flu virus proteins in the act of self-replication. Shown here is the influenza virus, which encapsidates its RNA genome (green) with a viral nucleoprotein (blue); the influenza virus polymerase (orange) reads and copies the RNA genome. In the background is an image of influenza virus ribonucleoprotein complexes observed using cryo-electron microscopy. Credit Image courtesy of the Wilson, Carragher and Potter labs.
