text SARS-CoV-2 plus strand genomic RNA (gRNA), like genomic RNAs of SARS-CoV-1 and other coronaviruses, is polyadenylated. The poly(A) tail of gRNA is longer than the poly(A) tail of subgenomic SARS-CoV-2 RNAs (Kim et al. 2020). Coronavirus plus strand gRNAs possess a polyadenylation signal in their 3'UTR and are polyadenylated by an undetermined viral RNA polymerase, possibly nsp8 or nsp12 (Spagnolo and Hogue 2000, Peng et al. 2016, Tvarogova et al. 2019).
