  2. Double-stranded RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-stranded_RNA

    Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is RNA with two complementary strands found in cells. It is similar to DNA but with the replacement of thymine by uracil and the adding of one oxygen atom. [ 1 ] Despite the structural similarities, much less is known about dsRNA.

  3. Double-stranded RNA viruses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-stranded_RNA_viruses

    Double-stranded RNA viruses (dsRNA viruses) are a polyphyletic group of viruses that have double-stranded genomes made of ribonucleic acid.The double-stranded genome is used as a template by the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) to transcribe a positive-strand RNA functioning as messenger RNA (mRNA) for the host cell's ribosomes, which translate it into viral proteins.

  4. Dicer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicer

    Dicer, also known as endoribonuclease Dicer or helicase with RNase motif, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DICER1 gene.Being part of the RNase III family, Dicer cleaves double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and pre-microRNA (pre-miRNA) into short double-stranded RNA fragments called small interfering RNA and microRNA, respectively.

  5. RNA virus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_virus

    Double-stranded RNA viruses (Group III) contain from one to a dozen different RNA molecules, each coding for one or more viral proteins. Positive-sense ssRNA viruses (Group IV) have their genome directly utilized as mRNA, with host ribosomes translating it into a single protein that is modified by host and viral proteins to form the various ...

  6. RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA

    Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is RNA with two complementary strands, similar to the DNA found in all cells, but with the replacement of thymine by uracil and the adding of one oxygen atom. dsRNA forms the genetic material of some viruses (double-stranded RNA viruses). Double-stranded RNA, such as viral RNA or siRNA, can trigger RNA interference ...

  7. Orthornavirae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthornavirae

    Genome type and replication cycle of different RNA viruses. RNA viruses in Orthornavirae typically do not encode many proteins, but most positive-sense, single-stranded (+ssRNA) viruses and some double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses encode a major capsid protein that has a single jelly roll fold, so named because the folded structure of the protein contains a structure that resembles a jelly ...

  8. Genetic recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_recombination

    RNA recombination appears to be a major driving force in determining genome architecture and the course of viral evolution among picornaviridae (e.g. poliovirus). [21] In the retroviridae ((+)ssRNA)(e.g. HIV), damage in the RNA genome appears to be avoided during reverse transcription by strand switching, a form of recombination. [22] [23]

  9. Palindromic sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palindromic_sequence

    A palindromic sequence is a nucleic acid sequence in a double-stranded DNA or RNA molecule whereby reading in a certain direction (e.g. 5' to 3') on one strand is identical to the sequence in the same direction (e.g. 5' to 3') on the complementary strand. This definition of palindrome thus depends on complementary strands being palindromic of ...
