ZIKA virus genome structure based on RNA-RNA interactions

The Zika virus genome is a single-stranded RNA molecule. Not much was known about its structure. A collaborative initiative between two Universities in the United Kingdom solved this riddle and developed a method to explore multiple conformations adopted by RNAs in vivo in virus-infected cells. Just like a person can fold their body into multiple yoga positions, the Zika virus genome can do similar. Watch this video to learn how!
