  • Rider says that when DRACO detects a cell with double-stranded RNA, it activates a so-called cellular 'suicide switch,' in much the same way that human cells are programmed to self-destruct if they begin to grow out of control. (voanews.com)
  • The nucleocapsids form with more newly synthesized RNA molecules, assembling like a puzzle. (futurelearn.com)
  • Short primers of DNA matching the complementary strand of the viral DNA template stick together, functioning as an artificial start site for DNA synthesis. (mayo.edu)
