#Medsky🧪 #IDsky #microsky #publichealth Members of the genus #Pestivirus (family #Flaviviridae) comprise economically important livestock pathogens like classical swine fever virus (CSFV) and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). Research over recent years revealed 11 recognized & 8 proposed species.

First full-genome alignment representative for the genus Pestivirus A monthly journal publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed research on all topics related to RNA and its metabolism in all organisms

First full genome multiple sequence alignment for the genus #Pestivirus reveals conserved #RNA structures and phylogenetic patterns across all known species, providing a key resource for #virus RNA analysis🧬
