This illustrates how viral RNAs achieve a common functional outcome through highly different sequences, and identifies the ring topology as a defining feature of viral xrRNAs. Check out this video to see the remarkable similarity of xrRNAs from different viruses.

Hi Bluesky, just in time for the holidays I am excited to share the latest pre-print from my group! We solved the 3D structure of a mysterious viral RNA that resists degradation by host nucleases. A short 🧵 &link below – please also check out the full video! #RNA #RNAbiology #RNASky #lovevirology
