Multipartite is a class of virus that have segmented nucleic acid genomes. Only a few ssDNA viruses have multipartite genomes, but a lot more RNA viruses have multipartite genomes. An advantage of multipartite genome is its ability to synthesize multiple mRNA strands to avoid the cellular constraint of monocistronicity.
