Engineering a live-attenuated porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus vaccine to prevent RNA recombination by rewiring transcriptional regulatory sequences by Liwei Li, Jinxia Chen, Zhengda Cao, Ziqiang Guo, Jiachen Liu, Yanjun Zhou, Guangzhi Tong, Fei Gao

“…A recombination-resistant genome was engineered by rewiring the entire transcriptional regulatory sequence (TRS) circuit of the live PRRSV vaccine strain. Theoretically, after clinical application, once the virus recombines with the genome of the epidemic strain, the base pairing between the two sets of TRS circuits should be disrupted, resulting in a fatal genetic trap for the generation of an RNA recombinant progeny virus. …”
