To further the public’s understanding of COVID-19, BioDigital has created the first
interactive 3D visualization of the coronavirus itself that causes COVID-19 and made it
freely available for public use. Please see below one of these modules, which can be seen in full here.
The 3D interactive virus you are looking at depicts SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). This is the name of the virus that causes COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019). This visual focuses on the internal structures of the virus, necessary for viral replication, namely RNA and N protein. Click on their labels for more information.
