Sequences and localization of HIV-encoded miRNA candidates. a) Locations for 5 predicted pre-miRNAs candidates in the pNL4-3 genome are shown. b) The folded structures of the 5 viral pre-miRNAs from pNL4-3 (Accession Number AF 324493) [17] are illustrated. Folded pre-miRNAs and their corresponding predicted mature viral miRNA (red) are listed. Nucleotide positions (where 1 is the initiation of transcription) in the pNL4-3 genome are presented in the right column.
