Genome organization of four coronaviruses and the characterization of predicted B/T-cell epitopes. (A) Genome organization of SARS-CoV, 2019-nCoV, MERS-CoV, and RaTG13-CoV. (B) The distribution of the predicted B/T epitopes of E, M, N, and S across four coronaviruses. (C) The relationship between protein length and the number of predicted B/T-cell epitopes. The snowflake indicates the number of predicted amino acids for B-cell epitopes, the circle indicates the number of predicted T-cell epitopes presented by HLA I alleles, and the triangle indicates the number of predicted T-cell epitopes presented by HLA II alleles. (D) The example proteins that have abnormal protein length and the number of B/T-cell epitopes relationship.
