Coronavirus Replication: Genomes, Subgenomic RNAs, and Defective Viral Genomes
28 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
With the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic the process of coronavirus replication has been under increasing scrutiny. During the replication of their genomic RNA, coronaviruses produce a range of other RNAs in addition to the negative-sense replicative intermediates of the genome, which includes a set of subgenomic RNAs. These subgenomic RNAs are nested within the sequence of the complete genome and can be...
