Key result
The hepatitis C virus genome RNA terminates with a highly conserved novel sequence of 98 bases, including a 46-base stable stem-loop structure, likely required for authentic HCV replication.
Identifies a highly conserved 98-base sequence at the 3' terminus of the HCV genome, likely essential for viral replication.

Refines HCV 3' terminus model; leaves open functional roles in replication for targeted studies.
Kolykhalov et al. (1996) studied Hepatitis C virus. The hepatitis C virus genome RNA terminates with a highly conserved novel sequence of 98 bases, including a 46-base stable stem-loop structure, likely required for authentic HCV replication.
