(2008, methodology): “With the completion of the project to sequence the 1918 influenza virus genome from autopsy tissues of 1918 influenza victims (57), it has become possible using reverse genetic techniques (106) to produce infectious viruses containing the 1918 influenza virus open reading frames (107–109) and to stu”

• 1918 Influenza: the Mother of All Pandemics (2006, background): “On the contrary, the 1918 virus appears to be an avianlike influenza virus derived in toto from an unknown source (17,19), as its 8 genome segments are substantially different from contemporary avian influenza genes.”
