The RNA is virus-specific and in the case of fowl plague virus (FPV) contains sequences of genes 2 and 7 which code for one of the proteins constituting the polymerase complex and for the matrix protein respectively. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-40-3-691
