Viruses are intracellular parasites that need their host cell to reproduce. Consequently, they have evolved numerous mechanisms to exploit the molecular machinery of their host cells, including the broad spectrum of host RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). To shed light on the interaction landscape of RNA viruses with human host cell RBPs at a large scale, the Gruber lab and collaborators have analysed single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) viral genome sequences, including SARS‑CoV‑2...
