Organization of the HCV genome and localization of HCV transcripts in the viral genome. Relative location of the 5′-UTR structural genes (C, Core; E1 and E2, envelope genes 1 and 2), the p7 coding region and non-structural genes (NS2 to NS5) and the 3′-UTR. S1 (1–570), S2 (1–466), S3 (1–402) have been used as substrates in the E.coli RNase III assays. All transcripts initiate at the first base of the HCV genome, contain the complete 5′ UTR and expand to different sites within the Core-coding region.
