RNA mutations are tightly linked to the RNA structure conservation. (a) Example where the mutation of a C into an A is compensated by the change G–U. The two positions are not independent, but communicating one with the other to maintain the structure unvaried; (b) Same hairpin as shown in (a). The presence of the compensatory mutation is highlighted by the multiple sequence comparison.
