The Subviral RNA Database: a toolbox for viroids, the hepatitis delta virus and satellite RNAs research
6 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Viroids, satellite RNAs, satellites viruses and the human hepatitis delta virus form the 'brotherhood' of the smallest known infectious RNA agents, known as the subviral RNAs. For most of these species, it is generally accepted that characteristics such as cell movement, replication, host specificity and pathogenicity are encoded in their RNA sequences and their resulting RNA structures. Although many...
