Geographical and chronological origin and evolution of Hepatitis C Virus. [PDF]
, 2011 Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection is a major health problem that leads to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. World over, more than 270-300 million people are estimated to be infected with the virus.

Radial distribution of RNA genome packaged inside spherical viruses
, 2008 The problem of RNA genomes packaged inside spherical viruses is studied. The viral capsid is modeled as a hollowed sphere. The attraction between RNA molecules and the inner viral capsid is assumed to be non-specific and occurs at the inner capsid ...

Non-structural proteins of arthropod-borne bunyaviruses: roles and functions [PDF]
, 2013 Viruses within the Bunyaviridae family are tri-segmented, negative-stranded RNA viruses. The family includes several emerging and re-emerging viruses of humans, animals and plants, such as Rift Valley fever virus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus ...

Evolutionary Potential of an RNA Virus [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2004 ABSTRACT RNA viruses are remarkably adaptable to changing environments. This is medically important because it enables pathogenic viruses to escape the immune response and chemotherapy and is of considerable theoretical interest since it allows the investigation of evolutionary processes within convenient time scales. A number of

Nature CommunicationsThe current model is that the influenza virus polymerase (FluPol) binds either to host RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) or to the acidic nuclear phosphoprotein 32 (ANP32), which drives its conformation and activity towards transcription or replication of the ...

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2014 Antisense-based molecules targeting HIV-1 RNA have the potential to be used as part of gene or drug therapy to treat HIV-1 infection. In this study, HIV-1 RNA was screened to identify more conserved and accessible target sites for ribozymes based on the ...

RNA Virus Populations as Quasispecies [PDF]
, 1992 RNA virus mutation frequencies generally approach maximum tolerable levels, and create complex indeterminate quasispecies populations in infected hosts. This usually favors extreme rates of evolution, although periods of relative stasis or equilibrium, punctuated by rapid change may also occur (as for other life forms).

Complete Genome Sequence of Diaphorina citri-associated C virus, a Novel Putative RNA Virus of the Asian Citrus Psyllid, Diaphorina citri. [PDF]
, 2016 We present here the complete nucleotide sequence and genome organization of a novel putative RNA virus identified in field populations of the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri, through sequencing of the transcriptome followed by reverse ...

Bovine Leukemia Virus: An Exogenous RNA Oncogenic Virus? [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1976 Short-term cultures of bovine leukemic lymphocytes release virus particles with biochemical properties of RNA oncogenic viruses. These particles, tentatively called bovine leukemia virus (BLV), have a high molecular weight RNA-reverse transcriptase complex and a density of 1.155 g/ml in sucrose solutions.
