Thus, for using CRISPR as a therapeutic option, it is critical to identify the SARS-CoV-2 molecular characteristics. They found that the two highly-conserved regions in SARS-CoV-2 genome, which can be appropriate to be targeted by PAC-MAN as a potential pan-coronavirus inhibition strategy are respectively the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) gene in the open reading frame1a/b or ORF1a/b region, which maintains the proliferation of all coronaviruses, and the Nucleocapsid (N) gene at the 3' end of the genome, which encodes the capsid protein for viral packaging (13) . ./cache/cord-341176-83khavoh.txt ./txt/cord-341176-83khavoh.txt
