Abstract Background Understanding how an organism replicates and assembles a multi-segmented genome with fidelity previously measured at 100 presents a model system for exploring questions involving genome assortment and RNA protein interactions in general. The virus family Reoviridae containing nine genera and more than 200 members are unique in that they possess a segmented double-stranded ds RNA genome. Using reovirus as a model member of this family we have developed the only functional reverse genetics system for a member of this family with ten or more genome segments. Using this system we have previously identified the flanking 5 sequences required by an engineered s2 ssRNA for efficient incorporation into the genome of reovirus. The minimum 5 sequence retains 96 nucleotides and contains a predicted sequence structure element. Within these 96 nucleotides we have identified three nucleotides A-U-U at positions 79-81 that are essential for the incorporation of in vitro generated ssRNAs into new reovirus progeny viral particles. The work presented here builds on these findings and presents the results of an .
