Abstract excerpt
Stem-loop SL2 is a self-interacting palindromic sequence that has been identified within the hepatitis C virus genome (HCV). While, RNA dimerization of the HCV genome has been observed in vitro with short RNA sequences, the role of a putative RNA dimerization during viral replication has not been elucidated. To determine the effect of genomic dimerization on viral replication, we introduced mutations into SL2...
