The key to the discovery of the Hepatitis D Virus (HDV) was the description in Turin, Italy in the mid-1970s of the delta antigen and antibody in carriers of the hepatitis B surface antigen …
Human genome-wide association studies have linked single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on chromosome 9p21. 3 near the INK4/ARF (CDKN2a/b) locus with susceptibility to …

The Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) Y-satellite RNA (Y-Sat) has a small non-protein-coding RNA genome that induces yellowing symptoms in infected Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) …
Because RNA can be a carrier of genetic information and a biocatalyst, there is a consensus that it emerged before DNA and proteins, which eventually assumed these roles and …
Viroids are the smallest autonomous infectious nucleic acids known so far. With a small circular RNA genome of about 250-400 nt, which apparently does not code for any protein …

How viroids, tiny non‐protein‐coding RNAs (∼ 250–400 nt), incite disease is unclear. One hypothesis is that viroid‐derived small RNAs (vd‐sRNAs; 21–24 nt) resulting from the host …

Viroids are single-stranded, covalently closed, circular, highly structured noncoding RNAs that cause disease in several economically important crop plants. They replicate …
Viroids are one of the most enigmatic highly structured, circular, single‐stranded RNA phytopathogens. Although they are not known to code for any peptide, viroids induce visible …
