A total of 1,604 spike proteins were extracted from 1,325 complete genome and 279 partial spike coding sequences of SARS-CoV-2 available in NCBI till May 1, 2020 and subjected to multiple sequence alignment to find the mutations corresponding to the reported single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genomic study. In this study, we aimed to predict the mutations in the spike protein (S) of SARS-CoV-2 genomes available in the database (whole genome sequences as well as partial coding sequences of spike protein) and analyze the effect of each mutation on the antigenicity of the predicted epitopes. ./cache/cord-281005-6gi18vka.txt ./txt/cord-281005-6gi18vka.txt
