Table 1: Length (L) and Probability (p) of Invariant Peptides of Length 12-mer or Greater in ZEBOV and SEBOV Ebola Virus GP1,2 Protein. L is the number of amino acid positions in the peptide. p is the probability of a chance mutation at a position at which H = 0 in the total, combined and consensus ZEBOV and SEBOV sequence datasets. Amino acid sequences of the six invariant peptides are given in the Results text.
