Importantly, the massive viral to human peptide overlapping calls into question the possibility of a direct causal association between virus–host sharing of amino acid sequences and incitement to autoimmune reactions through molecular recognition of common motifs. The second set of data illustrates the overlapping at npeptide level (with n from 5 to 16 amino acids) from the 30 viral proteomes versus the 30 human sub-proteomes (Table 8, columns 7 and 8) . A similar observation holds in considering the viral peptide overlapping to the 30 human sub-proteomes at higher n-mer level (Table 8, columns 7 and 8) . ./cache/cord-314372-knhkdlq7.txt ./txt/cord-314372-knhkdlq7.txt
