Viroids: from genotype to phenotype just relying on RNA sequence and structural motifs

Viroids: from genotype to phenotype just relying on RNA sequence and structural motifs

As a consequence of two unique physical properties, small size and circularity, viroid RNAs do not code for proteins and thus depend on RNA sequence/structural motifs for interacting with host proteins that mediate their invasion, replication, spread, and circumvention of defensive barriers. Viroid...
