  • In the lab, writes its inventor, Todd Rider of MIT's Lincoln Laboratory, "we have demonstrated that Dracos are effective against viruses with DNA, dsRNA, positive-sense ssRNA, and negative-sense ssRNA genomes; enveloped and nonenveloped viruses; viruses that replicate in the cytoplasm and viruses that replicate in the nucleus; human, bat and rodent viruses; and viruses that use a variety of cellular receptors."

  • With regard to the UTRs, the downstream UTRs (3′ in positive-sense) were longer than the upstream UTRs.

  • Typically, positive-sense RNA viruses produce much more double stranded RNA than negative sense viruses, probably because the nucleocapsid protein of negatively sensed RNA viruses can prevent the two strands from annealing to produce dsRNA

  • These viruses have a linear positive-sense ssRNA genome of ~26-27 kb, encoding a large replicase polyprotein that is expressed from the genomic RNA, and several additional proteins that are expressed from a nested set of 3'-coterminal subgenomic RNAs.

  • The positive-sense bipartite single strand RNA genome consists of RNA-1 (5.9 kb), which codes for several non-structural proteins including the viral protease and polymerase, and RNA-2 (3.6 kb), which codes for the viral L and S capsid proteins and the movement protein
