Abstract excerpt
Single-stranded RNAs (ssRNAs) are utilized as genomes in some viruses and also in experimental models of ancient life-forms, owing to their simplicity. One of the largest problems for ssRNA replication is the formation of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), a dead-end product for ssRNA replication. A possible strategy to avoid dsRNA formation is to create strong intramolecular secondary structures of ssRNA. To design...
