“…Except for retroviruses, replicons derived from positive-sense RNA viruses do not integrate exogenous genetic information into the host cell genome. Many systems have been described for heterologous gene expression based on infectious cDNA clones of filoviruses [ 7 ], influenza viruses [ 8 ] (reviewed in [ 9 ]), reoviruses [ 10 , 11 , 12 ], rotaviruses [ 13 , 14 ] (reviewed in [ 15 ]), bornaviruses [ 16 ], bunyaviruses [ 17 ], picornaviruses [ 18 ], flaviviruses [ 19 ], alphaviruses [ 20 ], and coronaviruses [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ], among others.…”
