6 Jun 2017

Flaviviruses are enveloped arthropod-borne viruses with a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genome that can cause serious illness in humans and animals. The 11 kb 5' capped RNA genome consists of a single open reading frame (ORF), and is flanked by 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTR).
