Like all mononegaviruses, ebolavirions contain linear nonsegmented, single-strand, non-infectious RNA genomes of negative polarity that possesses inverse-complementary 3 and 5 termini, do not possess a 5 cap, are not polyadenylated, and are not covalently linked to a protein.[36] Ebolavirus genomes are approximately 19 kilobase pairs long and contain seven genes in the order 3-UTR-NP-VP35-VP40-GP-VP30-VP24-L-5-UTR.[37] The genomes of the five different ebolaviruses (BDBV, EBOV, RESTV, SUDV, and TAFV) differ in sequence and the number and location of gene overlaps.
