RNA synthesis is modulated by G-quadruplex formation in Hepatitis C virus negative RNA strand
Abstract DNA and RNA guanine-rich oligonucleotides can form non-canonical structures called G-quadruplexes or “G4” that are based on the stacking of G-quartets. The role of DNA and RNA G4 is documented in eukaryotic cells and in pathogens such as viruses. Yet, G4 have been identified only in a few R...
