• Abstract: Influenza viruses mutate rapidly and can pose a threat to public health, especially to those in vulnerable groups. Throughout history, influenza A viruses have caused pandemics between different species. It is important to identify the origin of a virus in order to prevent the spread of an outbreak. Recently, there has been increasing interest in using machine learning algorithms to provide fast and accurate predictions for viral sequences. In this study, real testing data sets and a variety of evaluation metrics were used to evaluate machine learning algorithms at different taxonomic levels. As hemagglutinin is the major protein in the immune response, only hemagglutinin sequences were used and represented by position-specific scoring matrix and word embedding. The results suggest that the 5-grams-transformer neural network is the most effective algorithm for predicting viral sequence origins, with approximately 99.54% AUCPR, 98.01% F1 score and 96.60% MCC at a higher classification level, and approximately 94.74% AUCPR, 87.41% F1 score and 80.79% MCC at a lower classification level.

  We propose Virus2Vec, a feature-vector representation for viral sequences that enable machine learning models to identify viral hosts. We empirically evaluate Virus2Vec on real-world spike sequences of Coronaviridae and rabies virus sequence data to predict the host. Our results demonstrate that Virus2Vec outperforms the predictive accuracies of baseline and state-of-the-art methods.

  Coronaviruses are membrane-enveloped, non-segmented positive-strand RNA viruses belonging to the Coronaviridae family. In the Coronavirus genome, an essential structural region is the spike region, and it's responsible for attaching the virus to the host cell membrane. We propose a novel method for predicting the host specificity of coronaviruses by analyzing spike protein sequences from different viral subgenera and species.

  This paper focuses on accurately predicting if an Influenza type A virus can infect specific hosts, and more specifically, Human, Avian and Swine hosts, using only the protein sequence of the HA gene. We propose encoding the protein sequences into numerical signals using the Hydrophobicity Index and subsequently utilising a Convolutional Neural Network-based predictive model. As the results show, the proposed model can distinguish HA protein sequences with high accuracy whenever the virus under investigation can infect Human, Avian or Swine hosts.
