[EN] Background: Catalytic RNAs, or ribozymes, are regarded as fossils of a prebiotic RNA world that have remained in
the genomes of modern organisms. The simplest ribozymes are the small self-cleaving RNAs, like the ...
[EN] Despite being composed by a single-stranded, circular, non-protein-coding RNA of just 246-401 nucleotides (nt), viroids can incite in their host plants symptoms similar to those caused by DNA and RNA viruses, which ...
