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.
Bi-alignments for incongruent RNA sequence and structure evolution
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.
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.
Musashi binding elements in Zika virus 3'UTR
A comparative analysis of Musashi binding element accessibility in Zika virus and related flavivirus 3' UTRs using thermodynamic RNA structure modeling.
