Complex assembly process involved in DNA virus replication

In a twist on the question, ‘Which came first, the chicken or the egg?’, scientists have long faced a similar question about how human adenovirus replicates: ‘Which comes first, assembly of the viral particle, or packaging of the viral genome?’ Now, in a new study, scientists have answered that question, showing that viral proteins use a process called phase separation to coordinate production of viral progeny.
