As expected, within each class, viruses share structural similarities; • Some RNA viruses (for example, influenza viruses) "steal" short (10–15 nt) capped oligonucleotides from cellular mRNAs to prime viral mRNA synthesis (a process called capsnatching) (Chapter 23 Family Orthomyxoviridae) This priming process cannot be used for genome synthesis and indeed, the genome segments of influenza viruses are primed by a de novo process Key Terms Key Terms Okazaki fragments Okazaki fragments are short, newly synthesized DNA fragments that are formed on the lagging template strand during DNA Polyomaviruses Replication Adenoviruses Replication
