Intra-host IRES heterogeneity shapes hepatitis C virus translation through epistatic and population-level effects
2026-08-09
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) circulates within each patient as a diverse population of closely related genomes, yet RNA functional properties are commonly inferred from a single consensus or dominant genome. The contribution of non-coding intra-host variability, particularly within the internal ribosome entry site (IRES), to translational efficiency remains poorly defined. Here we investigated how naturally occurring H...
