Neural Replicator Analysis for virus genomes binomial systematics in metagenomics
We have presented some arguments to substantiate the usefulness of neural replicator analysis (NRA) for constructing variants of the natural binomial classification of virus genomes based only on knowledge of their complete genomic sequences, without involving other data on the phenotype, functions, encoded proteins, etc., and also without the need of genomic sequences alignment. Perhaps this will make sense when processing metagenomic data. This makes it possible to construct the binomial classification accepted for the viruses themselves. We restrict ourselves to three families of viruses having dsDNA circular genomes (Papillomaviridae, Polyomaviridae and Caulimoviridae) and partly to the family Geminiviridae having ssDNA genomes though the approach presented can be also applied to genomes of other dsDNA, ssDNA and ssRNA viruses, including linear ones (some results for Mitoviridae are also presented). It is argued that binomial classification of virus genomes which is difficult to apply in all cases can nevertheless be informative tool of revealing virus properties, areal of hosts, forms of diseases and can also show the connections of the viruses belonging to different families and even to different kingdoms.

Can the natural system of viruses reconcile the current taxonomy with an alternative classification useful to clinicians?
In 2022, a group of basic and clinical virologists, bioinformaticians, and evolutionary and structural biologists met in Oxford, UK, to develop a consensus on methodologies used to classify viruses. They concluded that v…
Neural Replicator Analysis of the genus Flavivirus
The results of applying neural replicator analysis (NRA) to the genomes of viruses belonging to the genus Flavivirus are presented. It is shown that the viral genomes considered in this study can be placed in five differ…
Evolving ribonucleocapsid assembly/packaging signals in the genomes of the human and animal coronaviruses: targeting, transmission and evolution
A world-wide COVID-19 pandemic intensified strongly the studies of molecular mechanisms related to the coronaviruses. The origin of coronaviruses and the risks of human-to-human, animal-to-human, and human-to-animal tran…
Application of Markov Structure of Genomes to Outlier Identification and Read Classification
In this paper we apply the structure of genomes as second-order Markov processes specified by the distributions of successive triplets of bases to two bioinformatics problems: identification of outliers in genome databas…
Ribonucleocapsid assembly/packaging signals in the genomes of the coronaviruses SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2: Detection, comparison and implications for therapeutic targeting
The genomic ssRNA of coronaviruses is packaged within a helical nucleocapsid. Due to transitional symmetry of a helix, weakly specific cooperative interaction between ssRNA and nucleocapsid proteins leads to the natural …
