Next-Generaon Sequencing and Predicon of T-cell Epitopes from Structural Proteins of Circulang SARS-CoV-2 Strains in Indonesia

Abstract

The Covid-19 global pandemic caused by SARS-COV-2 has been going on for almost two years and has negatively impacted the global population. The same as other viruses, SARS-COV-2 is continuously Mutating to adapt to the environment, and this may result in negative impacts, such as an increase in virus transmission, virulence, and even resistance to vaccines. Hence, questions regarding whether the currently available vaccines are still effective against the currently circulating SARS-COV-2 Variants have risen and are widely discussed.
