SARS-Arena

Caption

Rice University computer scientists have developed SARS-Arena to help find conserved parts in proteins from SARS-CoV-2 that could be a key for the development of wide-spectrum vaccines. The program searches for potential matches between regions in nucleocapsid (N) proteins and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) receptors that are central to cellular immunity.
