Cover Story: A critical step in the life cycle of any virus is the packaging of its genome into new virions. This is an especially challenging task for coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-2 as they have the largest genome among all RNA viruses. In this issue, Li and Zandi explore the important physical interactions resulting in the assembly of SARS-CoV-2 from its constituent parts. As illustrated in the cover, the interaction of RNA (yellow) with one of the structural proteins of SARS-CoV-2 (N proteins shown in red and black) condenses the genome. Simultaneously, the complex of N proteins-RNA interacts with another viral structural protein embedded in the lipid membrane (dark blue). Thus, as RNA is condensed by N proteins, it buds simultaneously through the intracellular membrane, acquiring its greasy coat. View this paper
