    Snippet: Since it is a surface protein, it is under constant pressure to avoid the immune response, and as a result, it is the least conserved of the coronavirus proteins, diverging both in its amino acid and its codon usage [25] . Being under constant selective pressure could be the reason why it has been able to adapt to the host genome more than other proteins. The N protein forms the ribonucleoprotein complex with the virus RNA. In contrast to S, the .....
    Document: Since it is a surface protein, it is under constant pressure to avoid the immune response, and as a result, it is the least conserved of the coronavirus proteins, diverging both in its amino acid and its codon usage [25] . Being under constant selective pressure could be the reason why it has been able to adapt to the host genome more than other proteins. The N protein forms the ribonucleoprotein complex with the virus RNA. In contrast to S, the N protein is the most conserved and stable protein among the coronavirus structural proteins. It uses mostly codon pairs with intermediate frequency; thus, it could be substantially codon pair deoptimized.
