Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The discovery of an additional 98-base in the extreme 3' end of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) has fueled much speculation as to the role of this sequence on the behavior of the virus. It is now known that this additional 98-base sequence is present and conserved amongst HCV genotypes. This sequence is capable of forming complex and stable high-order structures that may be important in stabilizing...
