Positive sense RNA

Direct translation of genome = directly read by mamalian ribosomes

Negative sense RNA virus

Produce positive sense mediate :arrow: Translation of genome

  #3

Positive sense RNA can be used it self as mRNA.

Negative sense RNA cannot be used as mRNA. It requires virion associated RNA dependent RNA polymerase.

Thx a lot.
