Study shows how Zika virus infection leads to production of smaller disease-causing RNAs
Researchers, led by scientists at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, have found basic molecular processes used by the virus/">virus/">virus/">virus/">virus/">virus/">virus/">virus/">Zika virus to "hijack" the cells that it infects and potentially how it makes molecules that are directly linked to disease.The discovery, published in the journal Science, shows that a part of the Zika virus's RNA genome folds up into a complex structure and that this structure leads to the production of smaller RNAs that in related viruses are directly linked to disease.Viruses cannot reproduce on their own, they must infect cells and "hijack" the cell's biological machinery in order to make more copies of themselves.
