Core Tip	Several negative sense RNA viruses are capricious, pandemic threats and give no quarter to their human hosts. Reverse genetic approaches have been valuable for discovery of key virulence factors mediating disease with the aim of treatment and vaccine development, and knowledge acquisition to genetically map pathogenic potential. Despite the value of the reverse genetics approach current systems are limited by molecular cloning procedures that do not enable reproduction of genetically heterogeneous virus populations that circulate in nature. Advances in molecular biology may facilitate production of genetically diverse viral populations that better represent natural isolates.
