Figure 1. Figure 1. The Structure of the SARS-CoV Genome Alternative open reading frames (ORF-3b, -7b, -8b, and -9b) are highlighted in gray. The nucleocapsid (N) gene including its internal alternative open reading frame, ORF-9b, is shown in an enlarged representation. S, spike protein; 3, ORF-3; E, envelope protein; M, membrane protein; 6, ORF-6; 7, ORF-7; 8, ORF-8; N, nucleocapsid protein (adapted from Snijder et al., 2003; genome representation is not to scale).
