In addition, such PQSs are highly conserved, despite the high recombination rates that characterize viruses, suggesting a crucial role for G4s in viral evolution and replication, and corroborating their targeting as a valid pharmacological approach for antiviral therapy. ./cache/cord-271241-w1q46y63.txt ./txt/cord-271241-w1q46y63.txt
