Figure 4. Map of the genome of the deformed wing virus, a positive-stranded RNA virus.

Figure 4

The capsid region codes for the four structural proteins, multiple copies of which are used to build the icosahedral virus shell, while the helicase region is involved in the unfolding of the RNA strand. Untranslated regions (UTRs) flank the coding sequence.
