`Furthermore, we show that 5′-FAD capping protects RNA from RIG-I mediated innate #immune recognition but does not stabilize the HCV #RNA. These results establish #capping with cellular metabolites as a novel #viral RNA-capping strategy, which could be used by other viruses and affect anti-viral treatment outcomes and persistence of #infection.`

The post below reminded me of a visit to the HQ of IonTorrent, then in beta stage
The building was RIGHT on Long Island sound, with a spectacular view
The road crossed a bridge that was slanted and underwater at high tide
