Understanding the importance of the 3D structure in viral genomes.
1:08:25 - 1:17:13 (08:47)
The 3D structure of viral genomes can provide important information about the functional parts of a protein and how it has evolved. Mutations are not uniformly distributed across the entire viral genome, but rather target specific proteins.

Summary
Researchers are predicting potential interactions between SARS-CoV-2 and its host by using both structural knowledge and existing knowledge from related viruses such as SARS and MERS. The surface of the virus is enveloped in a lipid bilayer with proteins integrated into it.
