RNA editing in hepatitis delta virus genotype III requires a branched double-hairpin RNA structure. RNA editing, transport, and protein binding are becoming an increasingly well-understood important part of human disease. But the discovery that extra genetic material subsequently gets added into certain mRNA molecules--a process called RNA editing -- has left scientists searching for the DNA-like molecular template that encodes the edited mRNA sequences. |
