Abstract excerpt
Interactions of host cell factors with RNA sequences and structures in the genomes of positive-strand RNA viruses play various roles in the life cycles of these viruses. Our understanding of the functional RNA elements present in norovirus genomes to date has been limited largely to in vitro analysis. However, we recently used reverse genetics to identify evolutionarily conserved RNA structures and sequences...
