Structural dynamics of retroviral genome and the packaging

Structural dynamics of retroviral genome and the packaging

Retroviruses can cause diseases such as AIDS, leukemia and tumors, but are also used as vectors for human gene therapy. All retroviruses, except foamy viruses, package two copies of unspliced genomic RNA into their progeny viruses. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of retroviral genome packagin...
