Abstract excerpt

It has been shown that both 3' and 5' conserved termini of influenza A virus virion RNA are involved in the initiation of transcription. An RNA-fork model has been proposed, according to which there is a crucial double-stranded region formed by complementary bases at positions 10 to 12 of the 3'...
