DPCIPI: A pre-trained deep learning model for predicting cross-immunity between drifted strains of Influenza A/H3N2 [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Predicting cross-immunity between viral strains is vital for public health surveillance and vaccine development. Traditional neural network methods, such as BiLSTM, could be ineffective due to the lack of lab data for model training and the overshadowing of crucial features within sequence concatenation.

Influenza A Virus Superinfection Potential Is Regulated by Viral Genomic Heterogeneity
mBio, 2018 Defining the specific factors that govern the evolution and transmission of influenza A virus (IAV) populations is of critical importance for designing more-effective prediction and control strategies. Superinfection, the sequential infection of a single

Identification of Viral Taxon-Specific Genes (VTSG): Application to [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2018 Virus taxonomy was initially determined by clinical experiments based on phenotype. However, with the development of sequence analysis methods, genotype-based classification was also applied.

Computational analysis of microRNA-mediated interactions in SARS-CoV-2 infection [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression found in more than 200 diverse organisms. Although it is still not fully established if RNA viruses could generate miRNAs, there are examples of miRNA like sequences from RNA ...

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since
