Abstract

MOTIVATION: The rapid and extensive transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to an unprecedented global health emergency, affecting millions of people and causing an immense socioeconomic impact. The identification of SARS-CoV-2 phosphorylation sites plays an important role in unraveling the complex molecular mechanisms behind infection and the resulting alterations in host cell pathways. However, currently available prediction tools for identifying these sites lack accuracy and efficiency.
