In influenza virus infected cells, eight viral genomic RNPs are assembled into progeny virions, which predominantly contain one copy of each. Using sets of fluorescence microscope images of four vRNPs, the likelihood that the subcellular distribution of one vRNP can be predicted from the distribution of another was estimated for all pairs of vRNPs with significant relationships. The thick base of the bands indicates the vRNP whose location can be used to predict the location of the vRNP indicated by the thin base. These pairwise and higher order relationships were used to infer the assembly network for all eight vRNPs.
