Abstract in brief

The study used a new long amplicon method to map the detailed secondary structure of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome at single-nucleotide resolution in infected cells, revealing extensive RNA structures, especially in the Orf1ab region.
The analysis identified conserved structural features across coronaviruses, with certain well-folded RNA regions that could be important for the virus’s function and may serve as targets for future research or drug development.
The findings provide a comprehensive structural "roadmap" of the viral genome, which can aid in understanding its life cycle, improve primer design, and assist in discovering RNA-based treatments for COVID-19.]

@macroliter @jallepap @BioTurboNick I'm sure there are shenanigans happening with the sgRNA secondary structure and RdRP interactions. https://t.co/cmzLcoXNRf
