Fig. 8: The EvSR element is preserved in the NSs deletion mutant Clone 13.

A Schematic representation of the genomic S segments of RVFV strains MP-12 (top) and Clone 13 (bottom). Numbers indicate the amino acid positions of NSs. B Averaged iCLIP2 results of the Clone 13 genomic and antigenomic S segments (top) and magnification of the exposed regions in the center (bottom). Exposed regions are indicated by a solid or dashed red line depending on the degree of N coverage. C Localization of the noncoding N mRNA sequences, coding NSs sequences, and the core transcription termination motif 5′-GCUGC-3′ (nucleotides in red cycles) within the EvSR stem-loop of MP-12 and Clone 13.
