Abstract
The core particle of a double-stranded RNA virus acts as a complex RNA repl ication machine. The recently solved crystal structure of the reovirus core particle has yielded a wealth of information, from the conserved architect ure of double-stranded RNA viruses to a description of the mRNA capping mac hinery.
