  1. Positive strand RNA viruses—these include the:

    1. Picorna

    2. Toga

    3. Flavi

    4. Calici

    5. Coronaviruses

--their genome is processed to produce a long peptide that is then cleaved to produce viral subunits.

--their genomes look like mRNA

  1. Negative Strand RNA viruses—their RNA is the opposite polarity of the mRNA and serves as a template.
