Predicting Influenza A Viral Host Using PSSM and Word Embeddings
The rapid mutation of the influenza virus threatens public health. Reassortment among viruses with different hosts can lead to a fatal pandemic. However, it is difficult to detect the original host of the virus during or after an outbreak as influenza viruses can circulate between different species. Therefore, early and rapid detection of the viral host would help reduce the further spread of the virus. We use various machine learning models with features derived from the position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM) and features learned from word embedding and word encoding to infer the origin host of viruses. The results show that the performance of the PSSM-based model reaches the MCC around 95%, and the F1 around 96%. The MCC obtained using the model with word embedding is around 96%, and the F1 is around 97%.

Dive into Machine Learning Algorithms for Influenza Virus Host Prediction with Hemagglutinin Sequences
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 …
BIG-bench Machine LearningViralFP: A webserver of viral fusion proteins
Viral fusion proteins are attached to the membrane of enveloped viruses (a group that includes Coronaviruses, Dengue, HIV and Influenza) and catalyze fusion between the viral and host membranes, enabling the virus to ins…
Classification of Influenza Hemagglutinin Protein Sequences using Convolutional Neural Networks
The Influenza virus can be considered as one of the most severe viruses that can infect multiple species with often fatal consequences to the hosts. The Hemagglutinin (HA) gene of the virus can be a target for antiviral …
ClassificationMulti-lineage evolution in viral populations driven by host immune systems
Viruses evolve in the background of host immune systems that exert selective pressure and drive viral evolutionary trajectories. This interaction leads to different evolutionary patterns in antigenic space. Examples obse…
Modelling cross-reactivity and memory in the cellular adaptive immune response to influenza infection in the host
The cellular adaptive immune response plays a key role in resolving influenza infection. Experiments where individuals are successively infected with different strains within a short timeframe provide insight into the un…
