The spread of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has triggered a global emergency, that demands urgent solutions for detection and therapy to prevent escalating health, social, and economic impacts. The spike protein (S) of this virus enables binding to the human receptor ACE2, and hence presents a prime target for vaccines preventing viral entry into host cells. The S proteins from SARS and SARS-CoV-2 are similar, but structural differences in the receptor binding domain (RBD) preclude the use of SARS-specific neutralizing antibodies to inhibit SARS-CoV-2. Here we used comparative pangenomic analysis of all sequenced reference

功能全基因组分析表明E蛋白的关键特征在SARS和SARS-CoV-2中得以保留。
新型冠状病毒(SARS-CoV-2)的传播引发了全球性紧急情况,需要紧急解决方案进行检测和治疗,以防止对健康,社会和经济的影响不断升级。该病毒的刺突蛋白(S)能够与人类受体ACE2结合,因此成为预防病毒进入宿主细胞的疫苗的主要靶标。来自SARS和SARS-CoV-2的S蛋白相似,但是受体结合域(RBD)的结构差异使得无法使用SARS特异性中和抗体来抑制SARS-CoV-2。在这里,我们使用了所有测序参考的比较性全基因组分析
