RNA structure conservation and molecular epidemiology of TBEV
This study combines comparative RNA structure analysis with molecular epidemiology to characterize conserved and variable 3' UTR architectures across tick-borne encephalitis virus lineages.
Functional RNA structures in flavivirus 3′UTRs: xrRNAs, dumbbells, stem-loops
This chapter compares conserved functional RNA elements in the 3' UTRs of mosquito-borne flaviviruses, including xrRNAs, dumbbells, and terminal stem-loops.
Secondary and tertiary structure of the BVDV IRES
This post summarizes what SHAPE-guided modeling and 3D analysis reveal about a pseudoknot in the BVDV internal ribosome entry site and why that matters for IRES function.
Mpulungu virus and unique xrRNAs in a novel African tick flavivirus
This study describes Mpulungu virus, a novel African tick flavivirus, and characterizes unusual exoribonuclease-resistant RNA structures in its 3' UTR.
Insect-specific flaviviruses from Zambia and their exoribonuclease-resistant RNAs
This study isolates two insect-specific flaviviruses from mosquitoes in Zambia and shows that their 3'UTRs contain functional xrRNA-like elements that stall Xrn1.
