Fig. 1

Genome structure and coding potentials of human coronaviruses. The viral genome is a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA with a cap (grey circle) at the 5′-end and a poly-A tail (A30-60) at the 3′ end. The genome encodes 16 non-structural proteins (ORF1a → nsp1-11 and ORF1b → nsp12-16) from the left three-fourth of the genome, and 4–5 structural proteins (S, spike; E, envelope; M, membrane; N, nucleocapsid; HE, hemagglutinin esterase) and various number of accessory proteins (numbered boxes) from the right one-fourth of the genome
