NS7b and NS8 have previously been shown to affect immune response signaling in the SARS-CoV experimental model. This was done using a combination of the phylogenetic tree constructed from the genome sequences and the cluster tree developed from the profiles retrieved from the presence and absence of homologs of ten 2019-nCoV proteins. The phylogenetic analysis using complete genome sequences showed that 2019-nCoV was the most closely related to BatCoV RaTG13 and belonged to the Sarbecovirus subgenus of Betacoronavirus, together with SARS coronavirus and Bat-SARS-like coronavirus (BAT-SL-CoVZXC21 and BAT-SL-CoVZC45) with the full support of reliability (Fig. 1) . Two (NS7b and NS8) of five nonstructural proteins were specific for 2019-nCoV and its closely related species, BatCoV RaTG13 and Bat-SARS-like coronavirus (BAT-SL-CoVZXC21 and BAT-SL-CoVZC45). ./cache/cord-257584-v38tjof3.txt ./txt/cord-257584-v38tjof3.txt
