Journal Article - A 212-nt long RNA structure in the Tobacco necrosis virus-D RNA genome is resistant to Xrn degradation
In this paper we showed that a large RNA structure in TNV-D is resistant to Xrn degredation. This newly identified structure joins a growing list of such structures across a number of plant and animal viruses.
