The Duck HBV RNA encapsidation signal epsilon is an RNA structure that is shown to facilitate encapsidation of the pregenomic RNA required for replication.
DHBV is used as a model to understand human HBV. DHBV epsilon consists of two stem structures, a bulge and an apical loop. The RNA structure was determined by chemical probing, NMR analysis and by mutagenesis. [1]. The Rfam structure is based on a covariation model.
