The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is characterized by a long incubation period, strong infectivity and general susceptibility to the population. At present, there are no specific medicines that can treat coronavirus disease 2019. In order to increase the understanding of the molecular biology of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and try to find effective treatments, we used SnapGene Viewer to analyze the genomic sequences of five strains of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 that published by National Genomics Data Center. The results showed that the genome length of this virus was about 29.8 kb and twelve open reading frames were predicted, and five nucleotide change sites were found in the open reading frames. In addition, we analyzed drugs used during the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, current drugs for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 and other possible drugs, to find some possible medicines with clinical treatment effects.
