The identification of biologically important secondary structures in disease-causing RNA viruses
Tanov, Emil Pavlov (University of the Western Cape, 2012)Viral genomes consist of either deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA). The viral RNA molecules are responsible for two functions, firstly, their sequences contain the genetic code, which encodes the viral ... -
