Abstract excerpt
Selective genome packaging is a critical step for RNA viruses, which must distinguish genomic RNA from other abundant transcripts. For SARS-CoV-2, the cis-acting packaging signal is thought to be recognized by the nucleocapsid (N) protein, but its identity and mechanistic basis for selective recognition remain undefined. Here we identify the packaging signal within the nsp12 polymerase-coding region. CLIP-seq...
