Palindromic sequence plays a critical role in human foamy virus dimerization.
The retroviral RNA genome is dimeric, consisting of two identical strands of RNA linked near their 5' ends by a dimer linkage structure. Previously it was shown that human foamy virus (HFV) RNA transcribed in vitro contained three sites, designated SI, SII, and SIII, which contributed to the di...
