This study combines comparative RNA structure analysis with molecular epidemiology to characterize conserved and variable 3' UTR architectures across tick-borne encephalitis virus lineages.
This chapter compares conserved functional RNA elements in the 3' UTRs of mosquito-borne flaviviruses, including xrRNAs, dumbbells, and terminal stem-loops.
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.
This paper introduces bi-alignments, a formal framework for cases where RNA sequence homology and RNA structural homology cannot be captured by the same alignment.
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.
