If the virus is positive single strand  ( i.e make as mRNA ) ,I will put the genomic as an input for primer3 then click on right primer and left primer: then it gives us the forward and reverse primers that used for amplification and one of them ( reverse primer ) used for cDNA synthesis to make double strand primer.

but my question is : if the virus single strand negative , do I need to make  reverse complement sequence to keep our 5' and 3' ends properly oriented.

by EMBOSS revseq program so the result is sense template (- strand) so I can design primers as previous.
