Predicting Influenza A Tropism with End-to-End Learning of Deep Networks.

The type of host that a virus can infect, referred to as host specificity or tropism, influences infectivity and thus is important for disease diagnosis, epidemic response, and prevention. Advances in DNA sequencing technology have enabled rapid metagenomic analyses of viruses, but the prediction of virus phenotype from genome sequences is an active area of research. As such, automatic prediction ...
