• Abstract: The availability of SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) virus data post-COVID has reached exponentially to an enormous magnitude, opening research doors to analyze its behavior. Various studies are conducted by researchers to gain a deeper understanding of the virus, like genomic surveillance, etc, so that efficient prevention mechanisms can be developed. However, the unstable nature of the virus (rapid mutations, multiple hosts, etc) creates challenges in designing analytical systems for it. Therefore, we propose a neural network-based (NN) mechanism to perform an efficient analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 data, as NN portrays generalized behavior upon training. Moreover, rather than using the full-length genome of the virus, we apply our method to its spike region, as this region is known to have predominant mutations and is used to attach to the host cell membrane. In this paper, we introduce a pipeline that first converts the spike protein sequences into a fixed-length numerical representation and then uses Neuromorphic Spiking Neural Network to classify those sequences. We compare the performance of our method with various baselines using real-world SARS-CoV-2 spike sequence data and show that our method is able to achieve higher predictive accuracy compared to the recent baselines.

  We introduce Virology-Informed Neural Networks (VINNs), a powerful tool for capturing the dynamics of viral infection when data of some compartments of the model are not available. VINNs offer an alternative approach to traditional numerical methods for solving system of differential equations. We apply this VINN technique on a recently proposed hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection dynamics model to predict the transmission of the infection within the liver more accurately.

  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.
