Genomic organization of SARS-CoV-2; (A) The structure of SARS-CoV-2 containing spherical crown-like lipid envelope showing structural proteins, namely Spike (S), Envelope (E), Nucleocapsid (N), and Membrane (M) proteins surrounding the non-segmented (+)-sense single stranded RNA encoding for several non-structural proteins (NSPs); (B) The SARS-CoV-2 genome representing the arrangement of - 5′ untranslated region (5′-UTR) caps, ORF1ab (replicase), S, E, M, N, and other genes encoding for the NSPs like ORF 3, 6, 7a, 7b, 8, and 9b; and 3′-UTR (poly-A tails).
