Description: Model for transcription in nidoviruses. Discontinuous minus-strand RNA synthesis results in a nested set of subgenome-length minus strands that serve as templates for sg mRNA synthesis. The process is also guided by a base pairing interaction between the TRS complement [(−)TRS] at the 3′ end of the nascent minus-strand and the genomic leader TRS, present in a RNA hairpin structure.
