The Ebola virus causes a serious infection with a mortality rate between 50% and 90%. Nucleoproteins in the virus assemble into a helical arrangement and encapsulate a single stranded RNA genome, ...
Class IV and class V viruses are single-stranded RNA (ssRNA viruses) in which the positive sense genome is translated into protein by host machinery, allowing viral reproduction. ssRNA class V viruses ...
Helping to make creation of nano-sized structures more user-friendly, scientists have designed single-stranded DNA and RNA (ssDNA and ssRNA) that can fold into desired shapes on command, and at an ...
Research reveals key differences between single- and double-stranded RNA, insights that may prove useful to fields from agriculture to medicine. Messenger RNA, or mRNA, has been in the news recently ...
