Q-UEL language helps to obtain literature to help identify sequences of amino acids that are well conserved across mnay coronaviuses including 2019-nCov. It was identified that this virus corresponded to the region aroudn one of the known cleaveage sites of the SARS virus that is required for virus activation for the cell entry

Computers and viral diseases. Preliminary bioinformatics studies on the design of a synthetic vaccine and a preventative peptidomimetic antagonist against the SARS-COV-2 coronavirus

The probability of peptides being able to help with therapeutics and vaccines are becoming more relevant in clinical genomics that involved patient DNA sequences. The homologies that match viral protein sequences and uses of automated probabilistic reasoning are becoming more relevant.
The Q-UEL system has helped develop a preliminary set of predictive 3D protein structures of the virus.
