An international team of researchers were able visualize how orthoreovirus assembles inside infected cells, using cryo-electron tomography at the Electron Bio-Imaging Center (eBIC) at Diamond Light Source, the UK's national synchrotron. The team were able to see various viral intermediates in their natural state giving a clearer picture of viral assembly in orthoreovirus—a member of the Reoviridae family. Their paper was published in Nature Communications today.
