Popis: Abstract Background SARS-CoV-2 is the causative agent of worldwide pandemic disease coronavirus disease 19. SARS-CoV-2 bears positive sense RNA genome that has organized and complex pattern of replication/transcription process including the generation of subgenomic RNAs. Transcription regulatory sequences have important role in the pausing of replication/transcription and generation of subgenomic RNAs. Results In the present bioinformatics analysis, a consensus secondary structure was identified among negative sense subgenomic RNAs of SARS-CoV-2. This consensus region is present at the adjacent of initiation codon. Conclusions This study proposed that consensus structured domain could involve in mediating the long pausing of replication/transcription complex and responsible for subgenomic RNA production.
