Why does the SARS-Cov2 genome end in aaaaaaaaaaaaa...
It amazes me that the genome is only 29k long. If you were to write a computer virus now, it probably wouldn't be that short, let alone something that can infect and kill millions of people.

A computer virus that just replicates and causes damage can be a lot smaller than that.
