In this course, you will be provided with an overview of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV 2) These lectures will cover the gene The most intensively studied member is vesicular stomatitis virus The RNA genome is single stranded is negative (minus) sense codes for 5 proteins Attachment, penetration and uncoating The virus adsorbs to cell surface G (Glycoprotein) is the attachment protein (figure 7) which binds to a receptor on the host cell surface Group III includes doublestranded RNA viruses while group IV includes positivesense singlestranded RNA viruses Finally, group V includes negativesense ssRNA viruses In addition, retroviruses also have a singlestranded RNA genome, but they transcribe via an intermediate of DNA Hence, they are not considered as RNA viruses
