Identification of microRNA (miRNA) precursors has seen increased efforts in recent years. The difficulty in experimental detection of pre-miRNAs increased the usage of computational approaches. Most of these approaches rely on machine learning especi...
In infected individuals, viruses are present as a population consisting of dominant and minor variant genomes. Most databases contain information on the dominant genome sequence. Since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in late 2019, variants have been sele...
The complexity and speed of evolution in viruses with RNA genomes makes predictive identification of variants with epidemic or pandemic potential challenging. In recent years, machine learning has become an increasingly capable technology for address...
This study addresses the challenging task of identifying viruses within metagenomic data, which encompasses a broad array of biological samples, including animal reservoirs, environmental sources, and the human body. Traditional methods for virus ide...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) has been evolving rapidly after causing havoc worldwide in 2020. Since then, it has been very hard to contain the virus owing to its frequently mutating nature. Changes in its genome lead t...
BACKGROUND: The high-throughput sequencing technologies have revolutionized the identification of novel RNA viruses. Given that viruses are infectious agents, identifying hosts of these new viruses carries significant implications for public health a...
BACKGROUND: Phage therapy, reemerging as a promising approach to counter antimicrobial-resistant infections, relies on a comprehensive understanding of the specificity of individual phages. Yet the significant diversity within phage populations prese...
BACKGROUND: The virome obtained through virus-like particle enrichment contains a mixture of prokaryotic and eukaryotic virus-derived fragments. Accurate identification and classification of these elements are crucial to understanding their roles and...
BACKGROUND: Since the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, there has been an explosion of sequencing of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, making it the most widely sequenced virus in the history. S...
BACKGROUND: Many biological properties of phages are determined by phage virion proteins (PVPs), and the poor annotation of PVPs is a bottleneck for many areas of viral research, such as viral phylogenetic analysis, viral host identification, and ant...
