Where are the TEM images of the proposed structures?
- NobleLie 3y agoConsidering it's predicted shape is that of obelisk ("rod") one is left to imagine that this finding has only metagenomics behind it.
- benjamin-lee 3y agoNot the author of this paper but am current PhD student focused on viroid discovery. There's no TEM but there are good methods such as RNAfold [0] for predicting their structures. In the case of rod-shaped RNAs, the prediction methods are quite good since it basically comes down to looking for substrings of reverse complement sequences within the circular RNA.
