Influenza A Virus RNA Polymerase Is Enriched on the Chromatin of Innate Immune Response Genes

The influenza A virus hijacks host cell machinery by “snatching” molecular caps from cellular RNAs to prime its own transcription. While this process is typically associated with the beginning of genes, this study reveals that the viral RNA polymerase exerts a far-reaching influence on host gene expression. Using genom...
