Abstract
NADC34-like porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) employs complex strategies to synthesize subgenomic RNAs (sgRNAs); however, their plasticity and temporal dynamics remain largely unexplored. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS), we examined the high-resolution landscape of the PRRSV subgenome, highlighting considerable heterogeneity in temporal kinetics and transcriptional control and revealing extensive coordination between TRSL-dependent and TRSL-independent sgRNAs. In addition, a comprehensive re-annotation of transcription regulatory sequence (TRS) locations was conducted, clarifying that their usage involved canonical, alternative, and non-canonical splicing events for annotated genes. These insights emphasize that the coding of genetic material in PRRSV is far more intricate than previously anticipated. Collectively, the altered sgRNA phenotype offers distinctive insights into PRRSV transcription and gives additional impetus for mining the functional short- and long-range RNA-RNA interactome at active viral replication sites.
