Such RNA viruses are divided into three classes based on whether their virions package the genome as mRNA-sense (positive-strand) ssRNA, antisense (negative-strand) ssRNA or dsRNA. Other viruses ...

Long-range RNA–RNA interactions, many of which span several thousands of nucleotides, have been discovered within the genomes of positive-strand RNA viruses. These interactions mediate ...

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a positive-sense, single-stranded (ss) RNA virus. Upon binding to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor ...

Once engaged, the RNAi mechanism removes the 'sense' strand of the dsRNA leaving a functional 'antisense' single-stranded RNA to bind to the target mRNA and cause degradation. In these studies ...

SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped virus with a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome of ~30 kb, the authors explained. SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the genus betacoronavirus, together with SARS-CoV and ...

The genomes of Class V viruses may be segmented or non-segmented. Group VI viruses have a positive sense, single-stranded RNA genome, but replicate through a DNA intermediate. The RNA is converted ...

Several years later, Fire and colleagues 1 discovered that double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mixtures were substantially more potent than sense or antisense single strands at silencing gene expression ...

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 ...

A single-stranded architecture for cotranscriptional folding of RNA nanostructures. Science , 2014; 345 (6198): 799 DOI: 10.1126/science.1253920 Cite This Page : ...

The RNA that is part of this process exists as a single strand. When a virus attacks the cell's genome, it carries a double-stranded form of RNA that enters the cell. A newly discovered cellular ...

RNA is similar to DNA but contains uracil instead of thymine (T) and has a single-stranded structure. Comparison of a single-stranded RNA and a double-stranded DNA with their corresponding nucleobases ...

Finally, the team also adapted single-stranded origami technology to RNA, which as a different nucleic acid material offers certain advantages including, for example, even higher production levels ...
