The resulting model has 4.8 million atoms, namely the nucleocapsid structure with the ssRNA present and without it. The second system was included as a control to investigate the role of the ssRNA.

Even at extremely harsh alkaline pH conditions that caused ssRNA to degrade in minutes, dsRNA persisted. It's fundamental science, but it also has real consequences.

Class IV and class V viruses are single-stranded RNA (ssRNA viruses) in which the positive sense genome is translated into protein by host machinery, allowing viral reproduction. ssRNA class V ...

Many of the world’s most common or deadly human pathogens are single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) viruses like Ebola and Zika. The world just spent two years at the mercy of an ssRNA virus—SARS-CoV-2 ...

A rapidly growing number of viruses of lower eukaryotes have been reported in the past few decades. These have enhanced our understanding of virus evolution and diversity. Simultaneously, some unusual ...
