    All sequences were aligned using Clustal Omega (Sievers et al., 2011) and each position summed for homology.
    Clustal Omega
    suggested: (Clustal Omega, RRID:SCR_001591)
    B cell Epitope Scoring: We used BepiPred 2.0 and DiscoTope 2.0 (Jespersen et al., 2017; Kringelum et al., 2012) to score individual amino acid residues, assessing linear epitopes in Matrix, Envelope, and Spike proteins, and conformational epitopes for Spike protein, based on published structure (PDB 6VYB).
    BepiPred
    suggested: (BepiPred-2.0, RRID:SCR_018499)
    DiscoTope
    suggested: (DiscoTope, RRID:SCR_018530)

    Results from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).

    Results from LimitationRecognizer: An explicit section about the limitations of the techniques employed in this study was not found. We encourage authors to address study limitations.

    Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.

    Results from Barzooka: We did not find any issues relating to the usage of bar graphs.

    Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.

    Results from rtransparent:
    • No conflict of interest statement was detected. If there are no conflicts, we encourage authors to explicit state so.
    • Thank you for including a funding statement. Authors are encouraged to include this statement when submitting to a journal.
    • No protocol registration statement was detected.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
