Rescue of a genotype 4 human hepatitis E virus from cloned cDNA and characterization of intergenotypic chimeric viruses in cultured human liver cells and in pigs [PDF]
, 2012 Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an important but extremely understudied human pathogen. Genotypes 1 and 2 are restricted to humans, whereas genotypes 3 and 4 are zoonotic, infecting both humans and pigs.

Expression and purification of tag-free SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase in Escherichia coli
STAR Protocols, 2021 Summary: The RNA-dependent-RNA polymerase (RdRp) from SARS-CoV-2 is an important drug target because it is responsible for viral RNA genome replication. Efficient production of recombinant RdRp is important in screening antivirals to treat COVID-19. Here,

Dual Role of a Viral Polymerase in Viral Genome Replication and Particle Self-Assembly
mBio, 2018 Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses package several RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRp) together with their dsRNA genome into an icosahedral protein capsid known as the polymerase complex.

Insight Into the Interaction Between RNA Polymerase and VPg for Murine Norovirus Replication
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Norovirus (NoV) is a leading cause of epidemic acute non-bacterial gastroenteritis, and replicates through virion protein genome-linked (VPg)-primed or de novo RNA synthesis by RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp).
