Class I

- dsDNA (Herpes virus, Poxvirus, Adenovirus, Papillomavirus) general transcription process

Class II
- ssDNA take 1 single strand as a template produce another strand dsDNA general
transcription process (Adeno-assoc virus)

Class III
- dsRNA- have positive stranded RNA and negative stranded RNA
- if separated- positive stranded RNA mRNA proteins
if negative strand synthesize more positive strand mRNA proteins (Reovirus)

Class IV
- (+) ssRNA (-) ssRNA (+) stranded mRNA (togavirus, poliovirus, Hepa A, Hepa C)

Class V
- (-) ssRNA as a template mRNA (influenza virus)

Class VI
- ssRNA-RT DNA single strand (enzyme: reverse transcriptase) and RNA dsDNA (HIV)

Class VII
- dsDNA-RT (Hepa B)
