Transcript
The overall goal of the following experiments is to assess the efficiency and specificity of microRNA-based regulation of picornavirus tropism in vitro. This is achieved by preparing picornavirus encoding microRNA response elements in their genome

We describe here a method for regulating picornavirus tropism by incorporating sequences complementary to specific microRNAs into the viral genome. This protocol can be adapted to all different classes of viruses with modifications based upon the length and nature of their life cycle.
