The other possibility is that the quasi-double stranded secondary structure of hepatitis D virus —a result of 70% sequence self-complementarity — is mistaken for DNA, thereby hijacking RNA ...

Genetic determinants of host- and virus-derived insertions for hepatitis E virus replication. Nature Communications, 2024; 15 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-49219-8 ...

The enzyme methyltransferase MTr1 provides the cap structure of cellular RNA. Prof. Kato's team found out how much influenza viruses depend on the activity of this enzyme for their replication and ...
