Caption

A Penn State research team found that the N protein on SARS-CoV-2 is conserved across all SARS-related pandemic coronaviruses (top, from left: SARS-CoV-2, civet, SARS-CoV, MERS). The protein differs from other coronaviruses, such as those that cause the common cold (bottom, from left: OC43, HKU1, NL63 and 229E).
