A bicistronic viral genome uses a compact type IV IRES near its 3' end to express a transmembrane protein
{{output}}
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and many other RNA viruses contain a type IV internal ribosome entry site (IRES) in their 5' untranslated region (UTR). These IRES RNAs interact directly with the ribosome, enabling cap-independent translation initiation. Using bioinfo... ...
