Figure 1.

Identification and short listing of peptides exhibiting a degree of molecular mimicry between microbes and human. Word frequency was used for visualizing the occurrence of each peptide in both human and microbes from the initial dataset employing Word Crowd. These sequences were further shortlisted and provided with unique peptide ID. Furthermore, the peptides that appeared more frequently, displayed larger size. Data represents the shortlisted peptide sequences of (A) human; (B) microbes; (C) the total peptide sequences along with ID. The amino acids in each peptide highlighted with red color are the sites of mismatch between the microbial peptide and its human counterpart. mm, molecular mimicry; mp, microbial peptides; hp, human peptides.
