Recommendations of the Coronavirus Study Group for the nomenclature of the structural proteins, mRNAs, and genes of coronaviruses

D Cavanagh et al. Virology. 1990 May.

Abstract

We propose a nomenclature to replace the various systems currently in use to designate coronavirus structural proteins, mRNAs, and genes/open reading frames. The nonstructural proteins have not been addressed.
