vPIF-1 is an insulin-like antiferroptotic viral peptide [PDF]
, 2023 Iridoviridae, such as the lymphocystis disease virus-1 (LCDV-1) and other viruses, encode viral insulin-like peptides (VILPs) which are capable of triggering insulin receptors (IRs) and insulin-like growth factor receptors. The homology of VILPs includes

Extension of the viral ecology in humans using viral profile hidden Markov models. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 When human samples are sequenced, many assembled contigs are "unknown", as conventional alignments find no similarity to known sequences. Hidden Markov models (HMM) exploit the positions of specific nucleotides in protein-encoding codons in various ...
