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 ...

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 ...

SARS-CoV-2 is a betacoronavirus, which is an enveloped virus with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA. It belongs to the coronaviridae family, and like others of its kind, typically causes a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Comparison of a single-stranded RNA and a double-stranded DNA with their corresponding nucleobases. (Image: Wikimedia Commons, CC SA 3.0) The most common type of base pairing is the Watson-Crick base ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
