DALLAS, Texas, Sept. 2 (TNSres) -- The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center issued the following news release:
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center discovered how the virus responsible for COVID-19 harnesses a feature of its host cells to read its genetic code twice.
This system, called programmed ribosomal frameshifting, enables the SARS-CoV-2 virus to efficiently pack its RNA in a small space, enhancing its ability to spread. Since frameshifting is . . .
