Examples
-
During RNA replication, the GS and GE signals are ignored and a complementary copy of the genome (the antigenome) is synthesized, which serves as the template for synthesis of progeny genome.

-
The first 12 nt of the 3′ leader sequence of APMV-5 are complementary to the last 12 nt sequence of the 5′ trailer regions suggesting the presence of conserved elements in the 3′ promoter regions of the genome and antigenome.

Weaker staining with the sense probe in the same regions demonstrates that the antigenome is also present and that the virus is actively replicating in these regions of the brain.

The first 12 nt of the leader and trailer sequences of APMV-5 are 100% complementary to each other, which is suggestive of conserved promoter elements at the 3′ termini of the genome and antigenome (
