Viruses are very small infectious agents. They’re made up of a piece of genetic material, such as DNA or RNA, that’s enclosed in a coat of protein.

The Hindu explains how while most organisms prefer DNA over RNA, its chemical cousin, to store genetic information, many disease-causing viruses have benefited from having RNA as a genetic material.

The COVID-19 virus, SARS-CoV-2, for example, is known as an RNA virus because it produces new copies of itself through its RNA. Vaccines against COVID take advantage of that.
