All A-to-Gs, could easily be an ADAR hit to the (+) genome.

In Central America, scientists found a spike in malaria cases after the fungus arrived. As frogs died, there were fewer tadpoles to eat mosquito larvae; more mosquitoes resulted in a fivefold increase in malaria cases: wapo.st/3LHtdAj (gift). We allow extinctions at our peril. 🌎
First, the frogs died. Then people got sick.
An emerging area of research is uncovering hidden links between nature and human health.

Out of curiosity because I'm very far from structural biology - can your findings be used to figure out why host ADARs seemingly only edit the genome strand in (-)ssRNA viruses (described in Ebola & Sigma viruses) even though either strand of the dsRNA duplex should be susceptible to edits?
