Figure 1 ZAP Shapes Viral RNA Sequence Evolution (A) In the absence of ZAP, RNA viruses have more potential evolutionary space to sample diverse dinucleotides. (B) However, ZAP antiviral activity, which uses CG dinucleotides as a means to differentiate self from non-self, constrains the evolutionary space. This ultimately selects for RNA viruses with low CG dinucleotide composition. Cell Host & Microbe 2017 22, 575-576DOI: (10.1016/j.chom.2017.10.012) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
