Model for the introduction of mutations in genomic viral RNA and in virus-derived siRNAs. Viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases introduce mutations in viral RNA during replication and transcription. Cell-to-cell movement, systemic virus movement, and antiviral gene silencing impose purifying selection. During antiviral gene silencing amplification, cellular RNA-dependent RNA polymerases introduce mutations.
