The N protein of SARS‐CoV‐2 resembles the SARS‐CoV N protein and contains multiple LCDs. A, Multiple sequence alignment of N proteins from the seven coronavirus strains known to infect humans. B, Composition scan depicting the local S, R, and K content of the N protein sequence from SARS‐CoV‐2. The SARS‐CoV‐2 N protein sequence was scanned with a 20aa window and the percent composition of each amino acid was calculated at each position, similar to previous studies. ⁹⁰ , ⁹¹ A region was considered an LCD if any single amino acid constituted ≥40% of the window sequence
